LA-based initiative Rogue Wave Projects, opens it's second international exhibition at the LA Louver Gallery in Venice, California, featuring the breathtaking works of Chinese photographer and artist Chen Man, fittingly titled East - West. At only 34 years old, Chen Man is considered one of China's leading photographers, creating images so flawless they could have been dreamt up by a computer, if computers could read beauty. She transforms her subjects into hyper-real goddesses, post-produced to perfection, and re-imagined as the twelve signs of the zodiac, the five elements or the four seasons. For i-D's The Whatever the Weather Issue, Pre-Spring 2012, Chen Man created 12 stunning covers, unapologetically, digitally manipulated and in all the richest colours imaginable, as well as photographing X-Men star Fan Bing Bing for The Role Model Issue, Fall 2012 and capturing some of China's less celebrated but no less integral farmers, athletes and musicians.
