This Weng Fen print belongs to the series that established him as one of the most significant voices in Chinese contemporary art photography — a schoolgirl in uniform, back turned, gazing out over an immense and rapidly changing urban or coastal landscape. The Staring at the Sea print series was made between 2003 and 2005 as China’s cities were transforming at a pace that left individuals — especially young people — caught between the world they inherited and the one being built around them. This Weng Fen print is urban landscape photo work with the scale and emotional weight of a painting.

Weng Fen shoots from high vantage points, placing the figure small against an overwhelming horizon. The result is fine art photography that operates as social document and meditation simultaneously — Chinese contemporary art that has been exhibited and collected internationally.
