Splendors of the West on Display at HKUST Library
Award-winning photo journalist Jin Shouxian will hold his first exhibition in Hong Kong––Splendors of the West––at the Library Gallery of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology from 13 March to 30 May 2002.
Born in Chongqing, West China, in 1943, Jin served in the military before he embarked on the career of a photographer. Currently he is the chief press photographer of Southwest Economic Daily in China. Since first publishing his photographs in 1978, he has received over a hundred gold, silver and bronze medals in exhibitions and contests in China and abroad. In 1992, he won the first Sichuan Literary and Art Prize. In 1998, the China Photographers' Association conferred on him the title of "Outstanding Member with Noble Character and Superb Skills". His works are widely exhibited in the US, Japan and Europe, and published in newspapers, magazines, books, photo albums and art calendars.
Jin employs lucid lines, bright colors and simple composition in his photographs to express the eternal theme of the relationship between man and society, and man and nature.
This exhibition sums up Jin’s works in West China in the last decade. He will be in Hong Kong to officiate at the opening of the exhibition. Members of the media are welcome to
