SUMMARY:The Ordinary Transformed Through Iryna Brown’s Camera Lens
DESCRIPTION:Setting up a photography studio right on her dining room table, Iryna Brown’s seemingly makeshift technique yields complex, fascinating results. She transforms familiar objects into startling new incarnations of themselves through her discerning eye. Simplicity yields rich results for Brown. The objects she selects to photograph are carefully curated and composed to communicate that the common and habitual in our daily lives can be unique – a reminder that the everyday can be a magical work of art.

Often printing her photos on canvas, Brown creates works that evoke an art historical notion of the still life painting. Her asymmetrical compositions employ a language of symbolism that is rooted in the everyday – through the use of ripe fruits, quaint teaware, and baby dresses found in her home. Brown shoots her photos using naturalistic color; the only filter is that of her windowpane. She skillfully uses sharp focus on her diaristic subjects, highlighting the nuances of their surface, pattern, and texture. She also uses crisp white backgrounds that seemingly pop her subjects off the surface of the print. Iryna Brown’s photographs elevate the everyday to fine art.

About the Exhibition

Illumination: an Exhibition of Fine Art Photography presents the striking, stunning and unforgettable images crafted by talented contemporary fine art photographers. These artists use a range of methods to achieve their effects, with some embracing digital technology and its possibilities, and others preferring to remain loyal to the richness of more traditional methods. Each artist puts great thought and care into composing each aspect of their image, without compromising a sense of spontaneity and openness to their surroundings. The result is enormously appealing and often entirely immersive, as if the viewer is being offered an entry into a world which is encapsulated in the magic of the image before them.
