Chen Man Exhibition

Today we visited the Chinese Arts Centre in Manchester where Chen Man is holding her first solo exhibition.

I didn't really know what to expect from her work as i had never seen it before although i felt i shouldnt research her beforehand as i wanted to look at the exhibition with an open mind and then find out more about her.

Some of her first work from 2003 really has a cyborg feel to it and i think this is down to the amount of post production she does on her images after she has taken them. She used photoshop a lot to make her work unique and after graduating found her own artistic style.

Here is some of her work which i like the most...












I feel this last image has a strong cyborg influence, i think it is really interesting how the whole image has the colour white although the model still stands out from the background.

Before going today i wanted to focus more on the article i found about business men and woman although after seeing her work i feel i would like to explore the side of post production on an image and using photoshop to create unique graphic effects.

I still want my image to have a distopian feel to it  although i want to go down the route of a very futuristic, super natural cyborg, rather than a human who has cyborg characteristics under the skin.
