Photo Gallery
Never missing a pace in the dynamic contemporary art arena, iPRECIATION will once again make a mark in the local art scene, and this time it is with award-winning Taiwanese photographer, MICHAEL CHEN (b. 1952)!
From 7 – 20 th June, we will showcase Chen’s stirring black-and-white photographs of religious structures taken during his far flung travels, including the Kalyan Mosque in Uzbekistan, Masjid-i Shah in Iran, Luxor Temple in Egypt and an array more!
Chen’s photographs are comparable to routes into the core serenity and tranquility that these domains of religious worship encompass. Not merely does he lock in the divinity of the pervading atmosphere with his skilful photography, he also captures the specific motifs from unique perspectives that will indubitably captivate the viewers.
Graduating with a B.A. in Arts (with Honors) from the Eastern Illinois University in U.S.A. in 1974, Chen later attained an M.A. in Public Visual Communications (Photography) from the Southern Illinois University, U.S.A. in 1977. He is also the recipient of Purchase Prize (Illinois Arts Council) and various visiting grants to the UK and West Germany. His works are collected permanently at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, The Polaroid Corporation and Illinois Arts Council as well as with various private collectors. Today, Chen is the director of Modern Art at Jeff Hsu’s Art, Taipei.
Come join us in Chen’s debut exhibition in Southeast Asia and meet the talented artist himself at the opening slated to be on 7 June, 6.30PM @ iPRECIATION! Don’t be left out!
