Huang Xu focuses his attentive gaze on singular objects, sensitively staged to emphasise their ethereal inner qualities. The subtle effects of his photographic prints are produced using high resolution 3D scanners, before compressing the superabundant data-set down to produce images of haunting luminosity. Huang’s Flower Series prints depict flowers in such exceptional detail that they take on otherworldly qualities. The luminous white petals in Flower No.2 (Chrysanthemum) seem to unfurl with tentative sensitivity. Native to China, the chrysanthemum has been cultivated for over 3000 years, becoming freighted with symbolic associations in traditional Chinese poetry and painting. These multiple layers of significance appear to radiate from within the physical form, as technological sophistication strives to capture the flower’s inner essence.
