Chelsea's Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Milano artist Paolo Bongianino in Répartie in Art. The exhibition opens on July 7th and will run until July 28th, 2015.
The opening reception will take place Thursday, July 9th, from 6-8 PM. Any art lover who enjoys thought-provoking artworks and meeting talented and interesting artists is encouraged to attend.
About the Artist
Paolo Bongianino produces breathtaking views of nature, but no matter how large his subject, his secret lies in paying attention to the details. Bongianino photographs mountains, oceans, forests, and even clouds of fog rolling across the land. His perspective is often sweeping, with the camera raised above eye level to create both grandeur and a sense of longevity. The compositions, devoid of human effect and filled to all edges, imply timelessness. Image and emotion: that is the summary of his approach to photography.
To achieve such a deep-seated emotional resonance, Bongianino uses saturated colors to carefully mark aesthetic high and low notes throughout each image. He photographs the land as if photographing sports, with the sharpest possible resolution. And above all, he is attuned to the subtle ways a detail can change a picture – how the texture of one tree's leaves informs a photograph's symmetry, how the pattern of sunlight creates varying lighting elements, or how a few degrees' shift in perspective can tilt an image onto an entirely different plane.
Bongianino was born in Trivero, Biella and currently lives in Milan, where he's spent most of his life. He has exhibited in London, New York, and Milan among other cities.

About the Exhibition
A Conversation about Spaces and Places: Répartie in Art
The artwork on display in Répartie in Art represents the interpretations and inspirations of thirteen artists from across the world. Each piece on display tackles the concept of "space" and how it relates to those who occupy it. Whether taking a step back and appreciating a wide landscape, leaning close and examining a small fragment of a scene, turning the eye toward human or animal figures, or presenting and transforming space in a more abstract sense, each artist promises a unique take on the topic.
