Agora Art Gallery – Contemporary Art Dealers


Special Exhibition

Through images that are at once enigmatic and familiar, the exhibition presents digital and analog photography that utilizes the compositional and depictive elements found in color, exaggerated contrast and brilliant light. Utilizing artistic intuition and honed technique, the ethereal quality of light is depicted through each artist’s unique voice and approach to contemporary photography. Using a limited color palette and relying on light and dark composition, the artists presents aspects of the potential of this powerful visual medium.

Eleanor Owen Kerr

Eleanor Owen KerrEleanor Owen Kerr

I am compelled by places and moments which illuminate the gossamer web of the eternal which weaves itself through all things temporal.  Drawn to the natural world in all its manifestations, I photograph what is there to explore what else is there - to find the questions which reveal the answers that lie all around us.  Quite often, my photographs choose me - making me simply the vehicle for bringing them forth.  Much of my job is to be aware enough to hear the call.   Particular moments, relationships, and places stop me in my tracks; if I pay heed, even with the barest glimmer of insight or wisp of understanding, these are the images which come to mean the most to me.

Paula Tymchuk

Paula TymchukPaula Tymchuk

P Tymchuk’s digital photographs are investigations into the human body transformed by light and shadow. Simplicity and raw human emotion are her inspirations, the need for human connection her pervasive subject. She says, "The most gratifying experience for me as an artist is when a viewer is first attracted to the image on an intuitive level." As a child, Tymchuk's mother encouraged her to paint large murals on the walls of her room, so that "I began, at an early age, to tell a story within one single frame." One takes in Tymchuk's work and searches for the visual center. At times, the images are not easily recognizable as parts of the body, and could be landscapes or fantasy constructions. More often than not, the picture's center is a place where skin meets shadow, or more specifically, where the light reflecting off skin meets its opposite, to conjure a mood of deep reflection. With her inspired investigations into the visual and physical, Tymchuk's work challenges the definitions of portrait, realism and images of the body itself. She is presently publishing a photo book entitled “Freedom Within the Skies.” She continues to travel, observing the play of light in the world, and searching as she says, "for magnificent exposures."

Caroline Valenti

Caroline ValentiCaroline Valenti

Caroline Valenti is an exceptionally talented photographer with a distinctive style that incorporates motion and a keen technical understanding of color and contrast. Valenti’s work is at once minimal and complex, offering compelling visions with elusive narratives heightened by the combination of shadowy depths and brilliant light. Valenti’s artwork exhibits a refined sense of drama and technical prowess using digital and traditional photography, yet she refrains from digitally altering her imagery. When describing her own work, she feels that audiences are attracted to her photography because of “a freedom found in simplicity.” Her love of travel is an inspiration that has enriched her connection to the world around her. Valenti has a background that includes graphic design and textile manufacture, complementing her study of photography. She has exhibited frequently around her hometown and has been recognized by Canon Awards and Fuji’s Australian Photographers Exhibition. Valenti lives and works in Perth, Australia.
