Hey bros I need some help sorting through this new series I'm planning to exhibit soon.
Was hoping to save these up for Shanghai but considering foreigners can't enter the country atm under normal circumstances I won't have a chance to show my work there for a while.

Text is also wip, would appreciate some input for it.


A Time Without Stories


Contemporary times seem strangely stagnant when
it comes to originality.
Most art of our time focuses on political narratives
and propaganda without any aesthetic ideas behind
it. It feels as if they struggle to create new myths or
process archetypal narratives.
If I can’t do the former, then I at least hope to do
the latter well.

When and why did people grow tired of classic
narratives in their work and what could
traditionally be called human nature?
I aim for timelessness and beauty in my work, my
pictures depicting scenes intertwined in human
nature.

I’m hoping we can return at least in part to an
appreciation of the human form, the ideals of what
constitutes a beautiful body becoming more and
more mushed in recent times without coming to any
new meaningful conclusions.

In this show, I want to revive the past ideals while
bringing them into our times.
These recent pictures being an amalgamation of
what I’ve learned so far in the art of image-making.
Each one of them is printed by hand, a few toned
with my own self mixed chemicals.
