Shadows and Illumination:Explores what we can experience if we take
more than a moment to visualize the depth created by shadows when
combined with  illumination to produce wondrous 3D displays of color,
texture and shadows. This exhibit is a mosaic of “light impressions”
from the La Jolla Tide Pools, the hidden treasures of Talbot Island,
landscapes of Grand Canyon,  Setauket Harbor, NY, and the colorful
foliage found in northern Florida.

The artist focuses on images of nature found in our daily lives. Yet,
when taken out of context and composed within new “frame works”, the
same natural phenomena can be elevated to reveal unique combinations
of light, texture, shapes, and color.  He combines the textures and
tones  with the dynamic range created by illumination and shadows to
create "3D" structures of "light impressions".

R. Tzvi Freeman, who writes of Gorin’s work:  "Beauty is captured
here on the page, yet retains its freedom. The borders of the page's
frame, rather than restricting our view, draw us inward to reveal
boundless wonder. Somehow, in the focus of B. Gorin's camera, we
discover that infinity was hiding all along in plain sight".

Michoel Muchnik, esteemed artist, writes of his work:  "B. Gorin's
photographs and their accompanying meditative style insights help us
develop a more intimate look at our Creator's handiwork. The best part
about it is the inspiration we gain to look around us on our own, to
become ever more aware of the lessons we can learn from even the
minutest details.”

Brian Gorinhas over 45 years’ experience in the study of light, both
the science and art of light generation and capture with imaging
methods.  He has contributed to the development of the first digital
cameras since 1980, and designed and fielded several unique light
sensing systems for holographic, infrared, and spectral imaging
applications. He has been awarded 8 U.S. Patents and published over 40
technical papers for Electro Optic Journals and Conferences.
Recently, he has returned to his early artistic passions to create
“Lite Impressions.”

During his college years in Rochester, N.Y.,  he studied under William
Giles, attended classes of Minor White and studied the works of Edward
Weston, Paul Caponigro, Aaron Siskind, and Paul Strand.  Several
exhibitions of his early works with sepia toning of images utilized
the well known Zone System used by Ansel Adams and others.  His color
works of nature have been inspired by Elliot Porter.

He has now published 12 books (and counting) of his photographs.
Book Titles (12) “In the Beginning”; “Break Down These Walls”; “Cape
Cod Sculptures of Sea and Sand”; “Grand Canyon Splendor”; “Setauket
Harbor to Pirates Cove”; “Fill the World with Light”; “Reflections of
the Vasquez Hidden Formations”; “Arizona Sculptures of Radiance”; “La
Jolla Tide Pool Impressions”; “The Eitz Chaim of Jacksonville”;
“Testimonies from Tomaka Trails and Treaty Oak Park”;  “The Hidden
Treasures of Talbot Island” .

Brian Gorinhas exhibited his works with several venues: namely his
two major websites, and in both physical galleries from Sag Harbor,
Setauket, St James, and PortJefferson, New York and and  in online
international galleries and publications with Biafarin, Artsy, and
Fine Art America.
