Refocus: Dragon 2010-2011
AU$100 Read MoreAdd to cartWang Chuan
Beijing: Pekin Fine Arts, 2011.“Published on the occasion of Wang Chuan’s second solo exhibition ‘Refocus: Dragon’ at Pekin Fine Arts, Beijing, April to May 2011. This exhibition is also part of Caochangdi Photospring 2011. Wang takes a contrarian approach to digital photography by enlarging the pixels and making them obvious to the viewer in order to draw attention to overlooked details of Beijing’s landscape. ‘In Refocus: Dragon, Wang demonstrates a simple enough premise: The dragon is still everywhere in Beijing; its portrait shows up in the oddest and most unexpected places.[…] Wang’s works implicitly question how these dragon legends play out on a contemporary stage. Wang shows us, using his impressionistic pixels, a variety of places where he recently “discovered” dragons still alive and kicking, lodged deeply in the psyche of local people around Beijing.’ (from foreword by Meg Maggio) Includes an essay by Gu Zheng and artist statement by Wang Chuan. Artist biography and list of works provided. Chinese text is printed in a separate booklet attached.” (publisher’s blurb). This copy inscribed by the photographer.
