NEW YORK, NY – Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature the original work of Lliam Greguez in Illumination: an Exhibition of Fine Art Photography. The exhibition opens November 10 and runs through December 1, 2018 with an opening reception on Thursday, November 15 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

The artistry of Lliam Greguez lies in how the viewer’s eyes and ears detect what he terms “subtle energies.” Photographing mountain ice, Greguez explores nature’s visual energy using a macro lens, an endeavor that captures momentary states where water is frozen in such a way to appear like a found object. These scenes sometimes look abstract, despite their objectively organic reality, as they portray the dimensional beauty of frozen water in terms of surface texture, inner depth, substance beyond and reflection.

For Greguez, water splashes, wind, and temperature act as paintbrushes. Dark Gleam Cuddle, for instance, is an image of pure water—once moving and fresh on the cliffs of a mountain—reduced to an icy stasis. This phenomenon, and its corresponding aesthetic effect when captured as a photograph, is simultaneously chemical, biological, and sensorial. Ice develops as a process that fluctuates in and out of being solid. It is portrayed as something almost sculptural in the way its liquid texture grows and then finds itself gradually erased within the context of an image.
