Mr. Sgarbi, curator of Italian Pavilion at 54th Venice Biennale, visited the Triennial after the opening. He carefully watched the conceptual photography works of artist Fu Wenjun and communicated with the artist. Your photography works own the painting-like color and texture, Mr Sgarbi said, the conceptual photography to you is an independent and unique ‘painting’. Good art works, like Mr. Fuโ€™s, should not only be beautiful, whatโ€™s more important is the thinking flowing inside the works.

Fu Wenjun, an emblematic representative of the current conceptual art. Interpreter of conceptual photography, Mr. Fu tackles strictly cultural issues such as the Eastern and Western history, the heritage of traditional Chinese culture in a rapidly changing society, the relationship between different cultures in the age of globalization, industrialization and urbanization in Chinese cities. He believes that conceptual photography is the channel through which the artist communicates his vision.

This time Fu Wenjunโ€™s works on show, like 350 B.C., Among the Clouds, Food is the God of People, No Realms etc. have explored the relationship between different cultures in the age of globalization.

In the occasion of Triennial, the artist Fu Wenjun received a special award, “Shakespeare in Art” International Contemporary Art Award, in recognition of his unique artistic style, outstanding artistic contribution, and his participation at Triennial as one of the most important invited artists.
