About the Item
Hungary - Manipulated photography.
As the country where Wei Xiang has lived for more than 30 years, Hungary has become a continuous source of inspiration for the artist. Evocative landscapes of singular beauty are the focus of this series of unique pieces of photography manipulated with the technique of oil painting.
Wei Xiang - Photography
Wei Xiang's interest in photography began when he was at university, and his photographic works often have characteristics of paintings. Wei Xiang joined the Hungarian Photographers' Association in 2013 and was elected as executive director in 2019. In recent years, Wei Xiang has been continuously experimenting by directly using oil paint on printed photographs for a second round of artistic creation, forming his unique mixed-media style that combines photography with painting. In 2019, Wei Xiang was invited to participate in the third Lishui International Photographic Art Seminar. During the seminar, his lecture on "Photography-Pictorial Art" was well received by industry colleagues, and his work was included in the book "Technological Changes and Artistic Contextual Changes in Photography since its Birth 180 Years Ago", edited and published by the China Photographers Association. In 2022, the Hungarian Photographers' Association organised a mixed media art exhibition entitled "Painting and Photography" in Budapest in his honour. Peter Baki, the president of the Hungarian Photographers' Association, said at the opening ceremony of the exhibition: "Wei Xiang has built a bridge between photography and painting, bridging the gap between the two art forms"
