Through March 22nd, the David Gallery in Culver City will be presently photographs of China by Stephen Wilkes.
Traveling through old and new China, Wilkes has expertly portrayed a nation amidst rapid and vast transformation. Focusing on both rural and urban industrialized settings – and the increasing number of areas where these two collide – the artist draws our attention to a changing way of life. The large spectacular imagery speaks of not only a new era in China, but also a shift in global economies already felt in the United States.
