Wang Qingsong Exhibition

Last week I visited a galley with my photography module.  The artist, Wang Qingsong, a Chinese photographer who uses his work as social commentary was born during the time of Revolution which is where he draws his inspiration.  Quingsong also turns to his training in fine arts and knowledge of other famous artist of the past to make up the composition of his photographs.  What drew me in was Qingsong’s marriage between the serious social issues of communism and daily life struggles with references to famous paintings.  In one photograph he references Botticelli twice- Birth of Venus and Primavera.  While set up directly across the gallery is another work where Qingsong solely criticizes consumerism with plain writing on a chalkboard, no references other than the sad truth of the brands that control our daily lives.  The range of medium and execution in his work is unexpected and incredibly inspired.
