NEW YORK, NY -The Agora Gallery (530 West 25th Street, Chelsea, New York, NY, 10001) is proud to present Kaori Michishita in Pixel Perfect- The Digital Fine Art Exhibition. Scheduled to run from April 18th through May 8th the collection will feature a captivating selection of Kaori Michishita's vibrant images.
Kaori Michishita creates complex works of photography by fusing disparate materials together. Using alternative, analogue, and digital procedures, she unifies highly individualized resources to reflect the intricate nuances of life and personality. Beauty, idiosyncrasy, sensuality, and innocence play their roles in developing alluring characters. Yet it is Michishita's skillful use of camera angles, lighting, and procedure that captures these traits and shows her artistic dexterity. Her photographs are a melding of old styles and new technologies.
Michishita's color photographs are as much explorations of light and space as of color. Vibrant hues jump off the paper, particularly when the subject is backlit or when just one feature of theirs is emphasized with a dynamic shade. Likewise, some subjects overwhelm the size of the paper while others stand out against a vast, blank backdrop. Even when sticking to just black and white or a muted palette, Michishita can create either timeless, sentimental portraits or stunningly provocative studies of form. Kaori Michishita currently resides in Japan.
