DESCRIPTION:
|
The photography exhibition at Bamboo Lane Gallery attempts to examine the powerful emotional and spiritual connection between the artists and their environments through the lens. We would like to make a special introduction to Mr. Sun Jiqiang, a renowned photographer from P. R. China and his Mt. Huashan sequence. Like Ansel Adams, Sun's interest in artistic photography is not driven by commercial success; his creativity is purely inspired by his emotional connection with nature.
Danielle Shang evokes the practice of psychogeography in her photographs. Although the photos were shot in different locations, Shang's intentions are to minimize viewers' interest in geographic identities, but to provoke viewers' interest in discovering scenes for potential narratives in banal and uncanny forms, shades and interactions.
The absence of geographic evidences in Shang's images is redeemed through Juan Carlos Avendano's urban landscape. Los Angeles' freeways provide Avendano with motifs for his photographs presented at this survey. The freeway system is unmistakably a key to Los Angeles' civil identity. By juxtaposing the motifs, Avendano has accomplished a close-up depiction of life in Los Angeles.
