Fu Wenjun: Harmony in Diversity
March 9th – 19th 2017

“The relationship between photography and painting has always captured the interest of arts scholars. According to most fundamentalist scholars of aesthetics, ontological differences exist between photography and painting. The appearance of the digital imaging technology has destroyed the cause-effect relation between photography and the object. Photographer, like a painter, can collect any kind of visual elements to express ideas or feelings. Observers can appreciate the workpiece as if it was a painting, understanding the morale and implied meaning of the photographic work. Fu Wenjun towards such new photographic art, named digital painting photography, wants to master photography as if it was a painter, to express independent ideas, morale, and even abstract mental states. Fu Wenjun is a forerunner in the field of digital painting photography, this exhibition presents 5 series of 57 workpieces realized in the last few years; they will lead us to a visionary, deep world permeated with poetic meaning and tension, displaying the expressive force of contemporary photography.” (By the curator Peng Feng)
