AJC Gallery presents Aquarium, an ongoing series of photographs (2010–2014) by revered Chinese artist Zhou Hongbin. In Aquarium we are confronted with surreal environments, some aquatic populated by multiple swimming rabbits and others even less familiar. Each animal constitutes a metaphor embodying a particular state of existence; atmospheric and mesmerizing, the body of work represents the artist's very personal reactions to a society undergoing a headlong rush into the 21st century.
No animals were harmed in the making of these works. Zhou Hongbin photographs and then graphically collates her images seamlessly constructing images which together effortlessly evoke a novel and arresting visual realism.
Zhou Hongbin was born in 1978 in Zhangzhou, Fujian and now works between Xiamen and Beijing, China.
