Digital Pictorial Photography
Digital Pictorial Photography is an art style and process proposed by Chinese contemporary artist Fu Wenjun.
Style
The artist merges together aesthetics from both the East and the West to create images which are striking in their ability to transcend. He intends to explore placing photography art in dialogue with other art media, like Chinese painting, oil painting, sculpture etc, as a result to extend the border of photography art in the current digital age. With his art, Fu Wenjun inspires people’s activity of reading images, highlighting processes of translation and interpretation that are shared by artist and viewer alike. In the process these works provoke us to reconsider the degree to which our pictures of reality are shaped by the visual conventions and codes of particular media.
Reviews
“The line between painting and photography has blurred in conceptual artist Fu Wenjun's works.” --- China Daily[1]
“The creator of the digital pictorial photography technique, Wenjun’s mesmeric artworks fuse the acts of painting and photography in surprising ways, printed on archival, handmade traditional Chinese paper.” --- The National[2]
"Fu Wenjun, hailing from Chongqing, China, is a contemporary artist who integrates the traditional Chinese art with the latest technology in digital photography in a new art genre called ‘Digital Pictorial Photography’…His works showed him deeply reflecting on and exploring the world, its history and future. He has the ability to harmoniously integrate strong Chinese traditional art tastes and cutting-edge technology.” --- The Gulf Today[3]
"In Fu Wenjun Digital Pictorial Photography works, post-processing is an important part, but different from computer painting, he never gives up camera shooting, and he always loves the relation between photography and reality throughout the illusory image “drawing”. His photography is the result of a continuous “drawing” and altering process. Just along with the endless changes of reality and illusion, fact and fiction, the art probably can catch the secrets within history and human beings, human beings and history." By Wang Lin: Chinese art critic, Professor at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Doctoral Supervisor at Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts. [4]
"Fu Wenjun not only has paved the way for the technique or school of digital pictorial photography, his works also represent the manifestation of a wide and profound thinking on the society and life, which is very charming. As for Fu Wenjun, photography is not merely a tool to record reality, but a brush to express his ideas or feelings, a proclamation permeated with philosophy. " By Peng Feng: Professor at Peking University School of Arts and curator of the Chinese Pavilion at the 54th Biennale di Venezia. [5]
