Zeno Chen has been creating his distinctive images for over three decades. This particular work “Steed” represents a break from traditional, representational photography, with its multi-layered visual effects. Rather than merely depicting the objective physical form of the subject, the work takes a more detailed, intricate approach, building a sense of rhythmic texture and energy; the fine balance between active and static seems to create a similar sense of equilibrium in the viewer’s own imagination, while at the same time the work embodies the connotations that fine steeds have had throughout history.
