Choi Byungkwan "Bamboo"
Soho Photo Gallery
This event has ended.
Soho Photo presents September's guest exhibitor will be the Korean photographer Choi Byungkwan. In his exhibition entitled Bamboo, the mystical black and white images convey a sense of the nobility and high spiritual values that Asian cultures have assigned to this distinctive plant. His photographs, which were taken in the dense shade of a bamboo forest, reveal flashes of light filtering into the black backdrop of the grove. In this deep darkness, light appears and disappears and the photographer transforms it into tones of grey and black like the ink of a brush stroke, exploring shades and multiple nuances of minimal colors.
Choi Byungkwan has a BA and an MA in Photography and Photographic Arts from Paris VIII University, Paris France. He is currently a professor of photography at Sangmyung University, Seoul, South Korea. He has had solo shows in Korea and Shanghai and has been in numerous group exhibitions in Asia and Europe.
