Sean Kelly, Los Angeles presents Fading Origin, Wu Chi-Tsung’s first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Known for his experimental approach to photography, Chi-Tsung’s work bridges traditional Chinese art techniques and contemporary media, integrating Eastern and Western aesthetics. The exhibition features new works in Chi-Tsung’s signature Cyano-Collage series and marks innovative new developments in his Wrinkled Texture works.
Chi-Tsung’s renowned Cyano-Collage series synthesize his dual interests in Chinese landscape painting and experimental photography. This process begins by washing sheets of Xuan rice paper in photo-sensitive materials, which, when dried, Chi-Tsung creases by hand and exposes to sunlight. The subsequent abstract elements are collaged together on aluminum panels.
In the new Wrinkled Texture Fading Origin series the diptych and quadriptych works begin with a single, full sheet of exposed cyanotype paper. This print then becomes the basis for recursive cyanotypes within the same work, with each image becoming the negative for the adjacent sheet. The result is a mesmerizing shift between blue and white tones, where the original image gradually dissipates into a field of color.
