+ OVERVIEW
Four works by Long Chin-San are gelatin silver prints, sharing similar composition of traditional landscape through photography. The works suggest a realization of life through Chan philosophy, that nature is interrelated. Representation of such vast landscape in the Eastern and Western composition is a challenge to artists. This started Cubism in 1906, with an attempt to strike a balance between an artist’s experience and way of representation. Gelatin silver print became popular in the 1990s in Shanghai. With such modern technology, Long Chin-San was able to express landscape in an ancient poetic description, creating a majestic art piece.
