What Does a Special Effects Artist Do?

Yang Fudong is one of the most internationally-recognized video artists in contemporary China. His works are beautiful and sad. The connection between classical literary temperament and modern scenes blurs the sense of history and reality, broadens the way of video narration, and reflects a new generation of young Intellectuals' sense of compromise, confusion, and powerlessness between a rich material life and an increasingly deprived spiritual world also implies the helplessness of traditional Chinese culture trampled by the tide of modernization. The Strange Paradise, which participated in the Kassel Document Exhibition in 2002, made it famous in the international art world. The subsequent Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest (Seven Parts) has become a classic in the history of local video art. ^[1]

"My work is often misunderstood." When artist Yang Fudong said this, behind him was an image exhibition site with eight large screens arranged in an arc. On March 24, 2013, Yang Fudong's new solo exhibition "No Snow on the Broken Bridge" opened at ShanghART Gallery, Moganshan Road, Shanghai.

Yang Fudong, born in 1971, is considered one of the most important representatives of contemporary Chinese video artists. 33-year-old he won by New York

As a video artist, Yang Fudong is perhaps the busiest artist in the international art scene. According to the information on the ShanghART Gallery website, he has held 28 solo exhibitions around the world since 2003, and participates in many group exhibitions each year, reaching 28 in 2003 and 2004, the highest peak. At home and abroad, art critics regard his video works as the spiritual portrayal of young Chinese intellectuals in the new century. However, in September 2013 at ShanghART Gallery's solo exhibition "Finch Village East", Yang Fudong unexpectedly pointed the camera at the wild dogs in the withered countryside of rural Hebei, showing the artist's new creative trends. Kassel rounded his

Time is changing. Today many young Chinese artists have switched from traditional painting art to photography and computers, using digital technology to enhance their work. The new generations who graduated from art colleges have changed their domestic art environment through the use of various video equipment and left their mark on the digital age.

Curator Li Zhenhua said that Yang Fudong is entering a period of transformation in recent years. What kind of change will this artist with shoulder-length hair and slow-talking have in his creative field? From May 24th to August 23rd, sponsored by Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art and co-organized by ShanghART Gallery and Marian Goodman Gallery, The Fog of Faith: Yang Fudong Solo Exhibition will show Yang Fudong's latest works from 2008 to 2009 for the first time The exhibition will also be his first solo exhibition in China in 2013.

Solo exhibition will show the richness of Yang Fudong's creation

"The Fog of Faith" is the theme of Yang Fudong's solo exhibition and one of his works on display. Yang Fudong has a dual understanding of this theme: "faith" on the one hand represents the meaning of "belief", and on the other hand it implies "snake believer"-a poisonous substance. The "fog" of "Mist of Faith" reinforces the uncertainty of this atmosphere. When asked what Yang Fudong's theme meant to him, he smiled slyly, saying "it's something inside, but I can clearly understand it."

"Mist of Faith" consists of three groups of works, namely "Mist of Faith", "Smiling General" and "Qing Qilin II". The Fog of Faith is an image installation consisting of nine 35mm black and white films. In this work, each film is set up with a scene, and each scene is composed of repeated shots, some of which are The camera was considered "good" and many were "bad", all of which were edited together in the movie. General's Smile is a large video installation. After a luxurious dinner, all the dreams and passions of a "general" near the end of his life were like the smile reflected on the stage before the curtain, echoing for a long time. "Qing · Kirin II" is a continuation of the previous work "Qing · Kirin One" created by the artist. It also records those scenes about the living situation, but this time the artist will use a large number of slides to create a "picture" the film". The three large-scale works will show the richness of Yang Fudong's creations in different contents and forms. For many ordinary visitors and professional researchers, this exhibition will be a starting point for re-understanding Yang Fudong's creations.

Self-taught photography ranks among first-line artists

Yang Fudong was born into a military family in Tongxian County, Beijing. He grew up in a military district courtyard. No one in the family was interested in art, and his earliest love was not art but sports. He had eagerly hoped to become a football player, but an accident in his teens shattered his football dream. This accident caused his right eye to almost fall off, so Yang Fudong turned to painting. After graduating from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he was admitted to the Oil Painting Department of Hangzhou China Academy of Fine Arts, and soon began to try photography. For Yang Fudong, photography and painting are "the same goal," "just moving pictures." He said.

In 1998, Yang Fudong moved from Beijing to Shanghai and worked in a software company that developed games while continuing to paint, but gradually began to invest more in photography and filmmaking. Yang Fudong said that he was a self-taught photographer. After the first film "Stranger Paradise" (1997 ~ 2002), he shot "Back Room, Hey, it's dawn!" "(2001)," Liu Lan "(2003)," Honey "(2003) and" The Recovery of the Snake "(2005), etc., his works soon entered international film festivals, successively in Paris, London, New York And art exhibition in Venice.
