Chen Man Exhibition, Talk and Private Viewing, 15th October 2013

Chen Man Exhibition, Talk and Private Viewing

The first UK solo exhibition of work by Chen Man, one of the most well-known female Chinese photographers of the 21st century and a leading fashion photographer in China. Chen Man’s images play with the juxtaposition of old and new, real and imaginary, ordinary and ideal. She frequently uses modern city landscapes and historical buildings in China as the backdrop for her images and mixes it with street culture, animation, sci-fi and pop references. Her images are often heavily manipulated and involve painstaking and complex layers of post-production. The hyper-real aesthetic of her images alludes to a desire for unobtainable perfection.
