Artist(s): 223, HAN Chao, Eiki MORI
Date: 1 Jul - 13 Jul 2011
Two of the young generation of Chinese photographers working in vibrant colour and pushing the boundaries of behaviour and relationships in society which had been restricted for so long. Han Chao shows himself, his lovers and his family in sensitive and contemplative portraits. 223 also works with new portraiture, reflecting the exhuberance of Chinese youth, where there are no rules about sexuality or behaviour. In Eiki Mori's photography works, he illustrates the sensitive affections, distances and humidity of tokyo boys in a silent loneliness gently. In June, a photography book of "tokyo boy alone" will be published in Taiwan (as well as in Japan, text in Chinese, Japanese and English), following several exhibitions in various cities. Han Chao, 223 and Eiki Mori could be regarded as the most expected young photographers of the new generation in Asia.
