Filipino American multimedia artist and photographer Anna Louise Jiongco will exhibit work from her ongoing “Moment” series in “Light / Color Play,” a group exhibition opening Sept. 7 at Satellite Gallery in Manhattan.
Presented by Space Between Gallery, the exhibition runs through Sept. 14 at 279 Broome St. The opening reception is scheduled from 3 to 9 p.m. Sept. 7.
Jiongco’s “Moment” series turns the changing conditions of her surroundings into abstract photographs. Working with available light, color and movement, she creates the images in camera without artificial intelligence or heavy postproduction.
The series treats photography as a record of a fleeting encounter: light reflected on a surface, a shift in weather or color caught at a particular moment. The resulting works draw on the visual language of painting while remaining rooted in the camera’s ability to preserve a scene as it appears.
“Light / Color Play” brings together emerging and experimental artists from the East Coast working in a range of media. The exhibition uses light and color as its central theme, giving artists room to approach those ideas through photography, painting, mixed media and other forms.
For Jiongco, the exhibition adds to a practice that moves between fine art, photography, design and creative direction. Based in the New York metropolitan area, she works as a multimedia artist, photographer and UX/UI designer, and is the CEO of Crème Now and Blended Agency.
On her Facebook page, Jiongco described her work as spanning mixed-media art, commercial and fine-art photography, performance, dance, painting, writing and art education.
Her work has appeared in galleries, art spaces and commercial venues in the United States, Canada and France, according to her professional profiles. Her “Thirst Mutation” abstract photography series was included in a juried exhibition at the Louvre in Paris in 2015.
Jiongco’s background also includes fashion, portrait, editorial and event photography, alongside work in design and digital media. Her professional portfolio reflects an approach that treats the camera as both a documentary tool and a way of building more layered, expressive images.
The exhibition arrives as independent galleries and artist-run projects continue to create entry points for emerging artists and new collectors outside traditional commercial-gallery circuits. Space Between Gallery describes its program as an effort to connect artists, collectors and audiences through exhibitions that pair contemporary art with music and community events.
For Jiongco, the exhibition places a new body of photographic work in conversation with other artists exploring how light and color shape what viewers see.
