The "Night of Heist" or 'nuit du zoute" in French is a special annual event organized by the city of Knokke le Zoute (Knokke-heist) on the first Friday of August. Galleries and shops participate by holding special events.

Berko Fine Painting invites galerie Magda Danysz to "the Night of Heist" with the exhibition From China with Love (curated by galerie Magda Danysz).

Feng Fangyu, Qiu Minye, Wang Tong, Chen Xiaowei and Xu Zhe form the young generation of Chinese photographer. Dare to view their own country face to face, they witness the current China that is modern and dynamic. Between ancestral traditions and modernity, they question the current contemporary society as much as their own country’s history.

Memory, patriotism, globalization influence, and exploration of marginality are all newly emerged issues in their works. Between the fulfill and broken dreams, these five photographers with a sense of humor, mix the wonderfulness of reality with a taste of staggered offset. From the re-edited photography of Mao by Wang Tong to stunning dreamy images of Xu Zhe, From China with Love invites you to discover the richness of this new generation.

For the first time in Belgium, the skill of these five Chinese photographers to reinvent China through photograph that gives us a juicy bit of today’s China.
