Shanghai Hong Fang



In the middle of shanghai, an old iron factory was converted to a culture centre with the key feature is sculptures of Shanghai artists. The exhibitions are plenty , many in the open air and many inside the converted godown.

I won't go into details of the exhibition, but my limited experience told me that the quality of the sculptures is very high. Too bad that there are too many artist in China that even the good artists seldom see light.


The whole place is full of art pieces that I spent more than two hours browsing each and every one. Here you see a brick built mercedes (the body never rust and never dent, don't ever try to face it head-on, but it is going to be slow). Picture on the building wall is different facial expression of the same model on different building.


Is this running away on one foot. Not easy, but a very impressive exhibition.


Like what I mentioned very early in this blog, contrasting fusion of senses. A multi color steel flower. Just as we least expected. A good sense of surprise.

It is just feast of arts, one can spend half a day taking pictures, examining the display from different angle, appreciate the design, the user of material, the expression, the replication of texture with different material - like this metal towel.




a more traditional sculpture converted to black-and-white. Excellent work.

I also try to play with the Art filter my yet another new camera in grainy b/w.


Photography is interesting and different. For the fun of it therefore I keep shooting.
