This week the Aman at Summer Palace, Beijing kicks off a month-long solo exhibition featuring contemporary Chinese photographer Dong Wensheng’s works, which is always cinematic and dreamy in nature. He manages to create a mysterious world in his evocative images using muted colors and tones, yet lush imagery. Dong’s work transports the viewer into a paradoxical world that balances the traditions of the past as he uses elements of Chinese tradition with a modern aesthetic.
