Taiwanese photographer CHEN Po-I his first photography works with the simple and Zen-likely “Stone Age” series, showing a humorous and profound micro-world that the artist founded using his acute observation and imagination.
This exhibited works are all traditional black and white gelatin silver prints hand-printed by artist CHEN Po-I.
ART STATEMENT
Complete in 2004, Stone Age was a series of snapshots which were intended to experiment on the possibilities of picturesque photography. Between stones and birds’ droppings thereof, I saw several make-believe images of little prince travelling through different planets. These images reminded me of little prince’s rose and sheep and made me want to transform them with some poetic implications. I would like them to be like ‘Drawing Number One’ that traveled with imagination and sincerity.
