Conceptual: Honorable Mention 2019 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This photograph is selected from my project 'Hua(花)'. Hua means flower in Chinese, and refers to beautiful and full-blown life in the metaphor. However, beauty is not the only attribute that the two forms have in common. In this project I explore their commonalities and connections in emotional vulnerability and sensitivity, by integrating abstract and conceptual approaches into feminine portraits.
AUTHOR
Suxing Zhang is a Chinese fine-art photographer currently living in Australia. His works focus on fine-art and conceptual portraits which can be described as impressionistic surrealism. He sees photographs as impressions that involve not only sheer beauty but also a wide range of emotions, and treats facial expressions and postures as the best mediums to deal with complex concepts. His photographs often involve visual metaphors and metonymies to tell stories and express emotions. Experience with painting as well as charcoal sketching has attributed greatly in his use of lighting, composition, colour, texture, and translates to the overall harmony of his visual layouts.
