GUO's quietly powerful portraits are notable for their spare use of colour. He isolates the most personally meaningful figures in a photograph and translates them into shades of blue against a neutral background. The resulting monochrome paintings are reminiscent of fine Chinese porcelain while also referencing the traditions of black and white photography - recast and reinvented in blue and white.
Here below follow some images from the opening evening. For more information on the artworks and the exhibition please feel free to contact us.
