FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHER ADRIANE STARK AT ASHAWAGH HALL’S THE VISUAL SPACE

Adriane Stark, the celebrated fine art photographer known for her dynamic botanical images and striking architectural compositions, will be exhibiting her work at Ashawagh Hall’s “The Visual Space” East End Photographers Group annual show from June 27th – June 29th with an artist reception on June 28th from 5pm – 7pm.

“Reconnecting with nature feeds our minds, bodies and souls, enhancing our quality of life in profound ways. The clean air, the soothing sound of ocean waves, the abundant beauty in gardens and landscapes – all of these connect us to something essential, offering serenity and peace in our hurried lives,” said Stark. My work aims to spark that connection – to experience something authentically alive.”

A Hamptons resident, Stark’s photography captures the essence of the natural world, developing a visual language of her own creation. Stark draws inspiration from her immediate environment, evident in both her dramatic monochromatic works and richly textured color studies. Technically precise yet emotionally resonant, her work embraces both traditional techniques and modern experimentation, including her unique “four-color black and whites” that lends depth and dimension rarely seen in contemporary photography.

Stark will feature a selection of her works including single frame images, dyptichs and collages, all celebrating the natural beauty that surrounds us each day.

A graduate of Parsons and a former Art Director with an impressive editorial pedigree—including collaborations with The Museum of Modern Art, Random House, Viacom, and The New York Times—Stark made the leap to fine art photography as a deeper form of creative expression. Her breakthrough came during the pandemic, where isolation at her Hamptons home led to daily immersions in her garden.

Stark’s work has been recognized and honored by The Art Director’s Club, The American Institute of Graphic Arts, The One Club for Creativity, The Society of Publication Designers, The James Beard Foundation and included in many prominent collections including the permanent collection of the Cooper Hewitt and Smithsonian Museums.

She has exhibited throughout New York City, the Hamptons and Palm Beach.

Ashawagh Hall is located at 780 Springs Fireplace Road in East Hampton and the gallery is open Friday from 12pm – 4pm, Saturday from 10am – 6pm and Sunday from 12pm – 4pm.
