Group Exhibition East Gallery,Jiangsu
Painting and photography are “twin” concepts in art history.
They are both opposed and merged in the process of their development,at the beginning of the birth of photography, someone directly declared the "death of painting", which also became one of the inducements of painting into modernism. Of course, there are critics who do not recognize the artistic quality of photography, but consider photography as a "memory tool" for painting. With the passage of time, painting and photography are constantly integrated, and even become the fulcrum of mutual creation.
The names of photographic genres such as "Faux painting photography ", "Photojournalism", "Pictorial photography" and " Painting & Photography " give some indication of the impact of photography.Photography has also had a major influence on the development of painting and contemporary art, such as Pop Art, Photorealism and genres and painters such as Gerhard Richter and David Hockney. This is only a discussion of the technical and visual aspects, not to mention the resonance at the spiritual core.
Based on this perspective and context, this exhibition gathers eleven artists, Dong Wensheng, Li Lang, Li Shun, Lin Shu, Mu Ge, BirdHead, Sun Xiaozhou, Sun Yanchu, Wei Bi, Xue Ruozhe and Zhang Xiao. Through their own artistic exploration and practice, they have enriched the connotation of painting and photography.
