Shades of Red(ûõç¯)

                    Wang Qingsong's Photographies







 

      The sapce in LDX Gallery displayed with Wang Qingsong's works

Wang Qingsong's one-person exhibition,
Shades of Red(ûõç¯) held by LDX Gallery in Hong Kong was composed of the selected items that the artist created in the years between 2008 and 2011. Visitors passing by display windows in the hallway of Convention Center's upper floor were attracted by his recent versions including Temple, Goddess and Follow Him.

Shades of Red, according to the gallerist of LDX, purports to explore the proliferation of individuality against the traditional sense of unity that has since emerged under the veil of China¡¯s immense growth in the past decade; in doing so, Wang seeks to find common ground once again. He does so not by providing the answers in his work but by raising questions in hopes that they will prompt the viewers to seek their own stance in these contradictions in dialectics of the past and present, the traditional and the new, faith and agnosticism, all part of what makes China what it is today.

          

         Wang Qingsong, Follow Him

Wang Qingsong has been widely known for his theatrically staged and garishly colored photographs. Akin to the artist¡¯s outlook on a rapidly changing China, his photographs are of infinite possibilities. Often compared to the likes of a motion-film director, Wang stages elaborate scenarios in which models, props and ambiance are all manipulated to exact detail.

This solo exhibition showcases Wang¡¯s artworks from 2008-2011. In these richer, nuanced works, Wang assesses his own faith, sovereignty and purpose while inadvertently challenges our social dogma and limitations. Whilst societal boundaries are challenged everyday, Wang utilizes pure symbols such as gore, nudity and religious figures to accelerate such confrontations.









The Artist

Born in 1964 in Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China, Wang Qingsong(èÝ庆áæ) grew up in the Daqiang oilfields where his parents were employed. Trained as an oil painter, Wang graduated from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 1992. A late bloomer to the arts, Wang subsequently moved to Beijing and joined the rank of artists who sought opportunity in an art scene that was beginning to attract international attention.

Wang Qingsong first gained recognition in his involvement with the Gaudy Art Group, the first yet short-lived movement that reflected on the country¡¯s new social dynamic. Championed by influential art critic Li Xianting, artists critiqued the nation¡¯s culture, which was then overwritten by vulgar consumerism. This theme dominated the majority of Wang¡¯s earlier works, and in 1996, sparked his urge to turn to photography, a medium that Wang believes would more appropriately address ongoing issues in a timely and realistic fashion.
