Michael Kenna’s first solo exhibition at AO Vertical Space Gallery will open on Friday, June 20th. Titled CHINA, this exhibition will highlight an impressive body of photographic work made in China by Michael Kenna between 2006 and 2014. The exhibition will feature the famous mountains and landscapes of Huangshan, Lijiang and Yuanyang as well as less known locations in Heliongjang, Xiapu and Yunnan. It will include work from the cities of Beijing and Shanghai, and locally from Hong Kong. Many of the images are compiled in Michael Kenna’s latest book project, also titled CHINA, recently published by Posts and Telecom Press, Beijing. Michael Kenna’s exhibition offers a refreshing escape from our pressured city life and encourages the viewer to slow down and take some time to absorb the spirituality and beauty of what is around us.
