At present, Pace Beijing is exhibiting two artists. Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto is renowned for the perfection of his black, white and grey photographs. The simplicity and grace of his seascapes are so sensually rendered that they come across as emotionally charged while simultaneously instilling zen-like calm. Also notable is his Lightning Fields series, which Sugimoto produced by applying electrical charges directly onto camera film. The forms created are elusively strange yet familiar. Sugimoto's work is on display until July 7, 2012.
Lee Tzu-hsun's work is a playful exploration of man's relationship with the machines he creates. Themes of technology, balance, and perfection are evident in these motorized machines. Viewers may gawk at the precision of the machinery while noting its ironic purposelessness. Lee's work is on display until July 7, 2012.
July 21st will see two new solo shows in the gallery. Hai Bo will be presenting new photography, and installation art by Liu Jianhua will be on display.
Entrance: Free
Address: No. 2 Jiuxinqiao Road, 798 Art District, Chaoyang District,Beijing.
