Chen Jiagang

Salo Art Museum Roundhouse

January 27–April 4, 2024

 

Chen Jiagang's solo show opened in Salo Art Museum on January 27.

In the photographs of Chen Jiagang, the Chinese countryside and city views combine into hypnotic images.  He builds a complex and ambiguous tension between the foreground and the background – between the individual and society, the man and his environment. His works express a concern about rapid economic growth and the effects of urbanization on morals in society and human relationships and a reflection on the relationship between history and the present. The multi-layered images are like today's China in miniature.
