上海“新黑蜃”当代艺术展在ART LABOR画廊开幕

　　（雅昌艺术网讯　本网记者）　ART LABOR Gallery is very pleased to invite you to see the exciting new work of American freelance photographer HEUNGMAN from May 10th, 2007.

　　Photographer HEUNGMAN's dramatic cityscapes provide evidence as to why Shanghai is being called the "new" New York City. Originally born in China, raised in Hong Kong, with 15 years in New York, and now based in Shanghai, HEUNGMAN applies his early love of American film noir found during film school days in Los Angeles to these new photos, finding a dramatic truth in the essence of the power dynamic, which explains some of the similarity between the two cities, their retro/modern aesthetics and the infrastructure of power and society. These photos also reveal a sinister energy lurking behind the glimmering facades of both these great metropolis.

　　This series of stunning photos display HEUNGMAN's ability as a truly original artist, acquired at the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. An early series of his noir works on actors in New York was featured over 4 pages in VISION magazine last year (April 2006). His work has been featured in Rolling Stone magazine, SPIN, Paper, amongst many other publications, while doing fashion campaigns for some of America's biggest brands.

　　摄影师 HEUNGMAN 的奇妙城市掠影证明了上海被称为"新纽约"的缘由。中国出生，香港长大，15年的纽约生活，HEUNGMAN 最后选择上海。在 HEUNGMAN 的眼睛和镜头里，纽约和上海有相似的本质和城市基调——巨大、复古和超现代。早年在洛杉矶的电影学院进修时，他对美国' 黑色电影'情有独钟，并把'黑色电影'独有的质感和华丽带入此次的新作——不仅仅是对属于上海和纽约城市基调的颂词，同时也揭露了两个城市浮光背后的惑影。

　　HEUNGMAN 的作品被许多著名的出版物选登，例如Rolling Stone杂志、SPIN杂志、Paper杂志等等。 06年4月的《青年视觉》曾选登他早期的 '纽约黑蜃'作品。此外，HEUNGMAN 为一些美国服装大牌做商业和时尚摄影。
