More about Chen Ke
Chen Ke and Bauhaus Gal
Based in Beijing, Chen Ke brings historical fragments into a personal narrative, leaving the relationship between images, experience and memory open. In Bauhaus Gal she revisits women associated with the Bauhaus without reducing a portrait to a straightforward copy of an archival photograph.
In Bauhaus Gal No. 23, a face emerges through geometric planes, lines and architectural fragments. Its restrained gaze and composite surface combine a recognisable human presence with a constructed rhythm. The image can be approached as a portrait or through the relationships between its colours and spatial elements.
ArtComburo presents a printed edition of this subject. A poster should be distinguished from an original painting: its printing process, paper, dimensions and framing belong to the version offered. Comparing it with other prints in the catalogue can clarify whether the attraction lies in portraiture, historical references or a quieter geometric composition. The product page provides the details for the particular print, along with its photographs, price and availability.
