About the Item

"Body Shan-Shui 4" is an edition 6/6 nude color c-print photograph by Huang Yan in 2001. The artwork is 39 x 32 inches and 49.25 x 42.5 x 1 inches with the frame, weighing less than 50 lbs. It is titled in Chinese and signed lower right, "6/6, 黃岩 (Artist's signature), 2001". Huang Yan's "Body Shan-Shui 4" exemplifies his groundbreaking approach to merging traditional Chinese landscape painting with contemporary photography. In this captivating work, Yan delicately applies classical ink motifs directly onto the human form, transforming the body into a canvas that echoes the ancient artistry of Chinese Shan-Shui landscapes. Through Yan's visionary lens, the human body becomes a living testament to the beauty and complexity of Chinese artistic tradition, reinterpreted for a modern audience with stunning visual impact.

By Reka Nyari
Located in New York, NY
“Ink Stories”, which was introduced at Nyari’s very first solo gallery exhibit, consists of large-scale nude photographs that explore the concept of self-identity and female empowerment. The series joins six women together, each who have faced adversity, to demonstrate the creation of a strengthened self-image through tattoos. By highlighting the intricate woven threads of ink on each woman’s skin, Nyari proposes the idea that self-empowerment and reconciliation with one’s traumas can be linked to the act of greeting one’s “own skin” or inventing their own story. Nyari has now elevated these intimate photographs in her new Punctured Ink series through the process of puncturing botanical-like references into the surface of each image (thus making each one of a kind). Her inspiration to physically puncture the previously pristine photographic prints stemmed from a childhood memory that occurred while she was living in Finland: “I remembered my parents had this big pad of paper next to the home phone...
