Chelsea’s Agora Gallery will feature a German artist, Rainer Maria Stark, in Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Fine Art Photography. The exhibition is scheduled to run from April 19, 2011 through May 10, 2011 (opening reception: Thursday, April 21, 2011).
About the Artist
Rainer Maria Stark’s photography monumentalizes the ephemeral impression. With immaculate composition these 24 x 47” giclee prints on canvas capture humanity faced with the sublimity of nature, chaos, conflict and impermanence. Each print translates a sensual encounter with a distinct natural environment, and wonderfully aestheticizes the interplay of physical, social, psychic and emotional variables that meet at the juncture of time and space. Light, color, texture and emotion work in tandem; reality is eclipsed by the poetry of Rainer’s camera in meditation. These powerful images confront the transience of man in the mirror of nature. Mining binaries such as the solid and liquid, the ephemeral and eternal, the fragile and stable, a profound sense of wonder and transformation imbues the work.
Rainer Maria Stark was born in 1958. Both fine artist and commercial photographer, Stark is a pioneer of new media and digital printing techniques. The artist currently lives and works in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

About the Exhibition
Altered States of Reality: an Exhibition of Analog and Digital Fine Art Photography provides a glimpse of the world as captured through the lens of a camera, technology, and through the artists own inner vision. The gifted artist’s participating in Altered States of Reality offer us a perception of the world, as seen, through a complex, enigmatic fusion of emotions and technical mastery. The old boundaries have come tumbling down and the new reality has been altered and is forever changing. This exciting exhibition allows us to challenge our ideas, parables and perceptions that constitute our own reality.
