Eight captivating works by Maleonn available now

ArtAndOnly is pleased to present an incredible series of eight photographs by renowned Chinese artist Maleonn.

With his series Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, Shanghai-based artist Maleonn continues to captivate the viewer through formal scenic composition and theatrical juxtaposition of subjects within the frame. The false naiveté used in coloring and object placement is disarming, whimsical, subversive and ultimately highly effective in communicating the irony Maleonn finds in the dichotomies of Chinese identity, history and tradition.

With such simple elements, Maleonn instantly invents an entire story. As the viewer attempts to decode the present metaphors, you are equally compelled to wonder about everything in the immediate past and future of the subjects.
