The collections present an obscure tableau of modern Chinese society, from magnificent landscapes and never-before-seen industrial compounds to the desires of China’s new youth and its growing sociopolitical challenges. The imagery from some of the most exciting artists working today—including “the invisible man” photos of Liu Bolin and the world-famous coal miner portraits of Song Chao—is prefaced with a concise essay that explains the background and inspiration of each featured photographer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYang Yongliang is China’s most promising young photographer. Born in Shanghai, the mutations of his city have given him the inspiration for his highly detailed photo montages, iconic witnesses of an ever changing world where the city takes over nature, skyscrapers replace trees, and cranes continuously reshape the environment. Drawing inspiration from Chinese traditional ink-wash paintings, his works put him at the center of the emerging posttraditional movement. Ecologic fables swarming with detail, Yang Yongliang’s photo montages link China’s past with its unique modernity, and point forward toward a disconcerting, disorienting future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thircuir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47065721733360,"sku":"9789881992444","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789881992444_p0.jpg?v=1763692884","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789881992444","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
