The "World of Light and Shadow "Pupil" - Luo Xu, Wu Luming and Li Hao Photography Appreciation Meeting" organized by Nanchi Painting was held from October 31 to November 6 at the Nanchi Painting Industry Exhibition Hall in Haizhu District, Guangzhou.
Luo Xu, vice chairman of the Guangdong Photographers Association, has a wide range of photographic subjects, and he pays attention to some big scenes: or the scene of ten thousand horses galloping in the face, full of movement, making people feel like they are on the scene; or the first snow wrapped in silver, quietly covering the hills; or a wisp of cooking smoke coming out of a corner of the farm yard in the ice and snow. His works combine realism and romanticism to reflect the broadness of the photographer's mind and the grandeur of the composition.
Group photo of guests
Wu Luming, a member of the China Photographers Association, combines photography with modern oil painting colors to create a new kind of image, with strong color contrasts. In recent years, he has focused on thinking about how photography can get out of the shackles of tradition and express everything in front of the camera in a new artistic way. Wu Luming combines light and shadow in reality with oil painting, and innovates a colorful and dazzling work through digital production - in his works, you see the shape is not the shape, the image is not like, if you look at it carefully, you see the shape is the shape, and the image is like. In the strong color contrast, all of them highlight the photographer's aesthetic alternative pursuit.
The tasting party will be on-site
Li Hao, chairman of the Maoming Photographers Association, fixed the lens on the sea in his hometown. Regardless of the twilight of the day and the morning, Li Hao took his camera and hovered on the edge of the beach and the waves. His works are presented in black and white. A ray of morning light, a wave of the sea, or a white cloud, let people taste the magnificence of the sea. His whole style is a record of immediacy, and in the contrast between black and white, there is always a little power to touch people's hearts.
The three photographers took a group photo with curators Liao Huaqiang and Lai Ping
Liao Huaqiang, the academic host of this photography exhibition, said: Looking at the history of photography in the world, the combination of film and image has always been a problem for photographers to overcome, in the digital age, hardware is not a problem, a pair of eyes behind the lens, is the best software - this is the meaning of the name of this work "Hitomi". The reality and romance of Luo Xu's works, Wu Luming's bold new quest, and Li Hao's documentary and documentary pursuit are precisely the interpretation of "Hitomi".
Academic host Liao Huaqiang delivered a speech
Liao Huaqiang said at the tasting meeting that the introduction of these three photographers was not that they found us first, but that we selected them into the tasting meeting without their knowledge.
They have different styles and different characteristics. Only doing pure art discussion, exploration and sharing is the original intention of holding this tasting party.
Bai Lan, vice chairman of guangzhou literary and art critics association, delivered a speech
Bai Lan, vice chairman of the Guangzhou Literary and Art Critics Association, said: "The standard of this exhibition is very high in the selection of works, because the academic host Teacher Liao Huaqiang himself is a very demanding person, and he has his own principles for the selection of works. I think the three photographers have their own faces, the characteristics are particularly distinctive, each of them is pursuing their own creative style, creative concept, using light and shadow to express their own artistic concepts. At the same time, digital technology has brought some changes to photography, which may affect the direction of future photography, and there will be more open possibilities. I think as artists, as viewers, we shouldn't have any restrictions, we should be more inclusive and try to understand it.
Participating photographer Luo Xu delivered a speech
Luo Xu: Thanks to Teacher Liao Huaqiang for planning this activity, and Nanchi Painting Industry helped us print such a good work and build a good display platform. The direction and style of our three authors are completely different. My works have been created all over the world in recent years with a half-travel, half-creative mentality. My creative intention is to get close to nature, many of the works have animals and people, I hope that there is some dynamic breath of life in the work, which is different from pure landscape photography.
Participating photographer Wu Luming delivered a speech
Wu Luming: I am very happy to have this place for us to share our love of art and show our works. The era of national photography has made photography and painting change the direction, so I put forward the question of "the same origin of film and painting", in the era of digital art, the history of photography actually has to enter the category of art history, do not be too rigid about what is photography and what is painting. What is the key to it? What do you want it to be? What moved you when I saw you? Just like contemporary art, we need to broaden our horizons a little. At the same time, in fact, video works want to enter thousands of households, but how to enter the entire ecological chain of the market, I hope that from this point of view, we will discuss and communicate with each other, perhaps more meaningful.
Participating photographer Li Hao delivered a speech
Li Hao: My work "The Sea is Low" reflects the irreconcilable contradiction between man and nature, because human beings have an endless demand for resources, the resources of the sea are limited, in order to photograph the plight of the sea and the plight of the fishermen, I try my camera to be as close as possible to the low sea and the fishermen working at sea, close to their hearts, and also record this sharp change process from the perspective of the witness as much as possible.
Mr. Lai Ping, head of Nanchi Painting Industry, delivered a speech
Mr. Lai Ping, head of Nanchi Painting Industry, said that he hopes to build the exhibition hall into an art space with its own unique taste and sustainability. This exhibition is the first exhibition of Nanchi Painting Industry after entering Haizhu District, and it will continue to make the photography appreciation meeting a brand in the future and continue to hold it.
