On Thursday, September 6, 2012, I was invited to attend the
2012 Shanghai Contemporary Art Gallery Showcase preview. There were over 100
galleries from China and abroad in attendance with art work ranging from
photography to painting to sculpture to living art. For more information see
link above.
Some might ask how I was invited to such an event? Well
since being in Shanghai, I have met some great people who have being friends.
One of those friends works for Moproo [art gallery] and happen to have an extra
VIP pass for the event (isn't it awesome to know the right people...lol). His
gallery was one of the new one galleries featured at this year's Shanghai
Contemporary. I really had one plan to attend because it was late notice when I
heard but I am so glad I attended. I have posted some photos of my favorite
pieces on display. I took many photos of great art; I only wish I could share
all of them with you.

This photo was my absolutely favorite piece. I only wish I could get a better image of it. The photograph was taken using film and the contrast of the two skin tones is phenomenal. The way the black man nearly fades into the back ground is beautiful.

These two photos were taken by me inside one of the art pieces. The installation piece was a large box with controlled light so there was absolutely no shadows. All of the shadows you see were created and by the artist. This had to be one of the most interesting art installations I have seen.

This piece I thought was very interesting from the colors to the forms and balance of the overall composition. This was the first piece at the art event that really caught my attention but I am not entirely sure why.

This is one example of live art. I always enjoy watching someone create art. It never fails to amaze me the talent that some people have. Right next to him was a woman using a living canvas to display her art.

These two paintings by the same artist are nice and simple but with a clear message of relationships. The depiction of two different couple, and their affection or lack of affection toward each other.
