Dickson Yewn: Slowness
Visual Arts
Description
Description
Black-and-white photography accentuates the play of light and shadows. Even without vibrant colouration, its monochrome qualities highlight the image’s composition and lines, enriching the photograph with poetic ambience and imaginations. Dickson Yewn is a renowned Hong Kong jewellery designer and a great art lover with an affection for monochrome photography. He studied fine art in Paris and conceptual photography in New York. The exhibition showcases Yewn’s landscape and still-life photography taken during his travel around China over the past decade. He cleverly used a smart phone camera to imitate the visual effect of platinum printing process developed in the 19th century. Demonstrating a delicate scale of black-and-white tonality, his photographs look as if they are painted in ink.
