The opening of William Wegman's exhibition was successfully held in CHANG ART gallery, March 20. This is Wegman's first solo exhibition in China, featuring about 30 works including his highly respected Weimaraner photos, paintings expanded from postcards and video Alphabet Soup which sparked off a frenzy of ratings in the US.

In Weimaraner photos, all the dogs are dressed in human's cloths, presenting the humanity out of human body (dogs instead).

"A common misunderstanding is that the dogs work hard. No. We work hard, my assistants especially the one crammed in an extreme position behind the dog presenting limbs to appear attached. The dogs are usually sitting, like dogs do and only for seconds." Wegman said, "It takes 1/60th of a sec to take a picture. It takes a lot of time to set it up. The dogs are standing by in the green room (the couch) waiting for their call. Some dogs are more actively eager to be in front of the camera but all crave the attention. At least mine are."

William Wegman is one of the top artists in the USA. He formed a unique creating style during the past decades. Since his first series of Weimaraner photos been introduced to the public in 1970, he got worldwide recognition as "the man with dogs". He focuses more on the exploration of humor and placed dogs' behavior as well as his perception of life and art side by side, which highlighted a sense of irony.

Implementing a productive cooperation with dogs, Wegman never neglected his creation of painting. He used postcards frequently, extending them to kaleidoscopic landscapes. The seamless transition from printed cards to hand-made crafts stunning images.
