Tzen "Metaphors"
China Previews
This event has ended.
Tzen’s lifetime mission to explore identity through experience and finds extra-sensory expression in his artwork. Making art is the process by which he translates into image the facets of identity--its jagged edges, rounded corners, hard underbelly and innate malleability. His collection of photographic works chronicles his research on not just what identity is, but the very definition of identity. Many of his self-portraits, including his recent works are a playful exploration of the role one plays in ascribing that definition.
China Previews Gallery is proud to present the first complete photographic show for Tzen. This collection features recent works such as the “Patriots” series, where Tzen’s own face is painted with different wartime flags. His work searches the provocative, the strange, and satirical as he explores his many faces.
