Monumental works of Chinese photographer Wang Qingsong
Categories: World
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/monumental-works-of-chinese-photographer-wang-qingsong.htmlWang Qingsong is a famous artist not only in China but also in the world. He became famous for his large-scale installations and giant photographs. In his works, the author tries to convey the rapid changes in the social, cultural and economic life of his country.
Wang Qingsong was born in 1964 to a working-class family. After the death of his father, the fifteen-year-old boy had to take his position in order to feed his family. For eight years of hard work, Wang Qingsong did not give up trying to enter a prestigious art university. In the end, he succeeded, and in 1992 he received a diploma from the Sichuan Institute of Fine Arts.
Wang Qingsong first gained fame as a painter and member of the Gaudi art group, inspired by the work of American artist Jeff Koons. In 1997, however, the artist switched to staged photography, as this technique enabled him to more effectively comment on the changes that had taken place in China over the past decades.
Wang Qingsong's photographs show an explosive mixture of tradition and signs of a capitalist society in the new China.
