Photos in the Shan Shui Style |
|
Photographer Don Hong-Oai was born in
1929 in the city of Guangzhou, China. At the age of seven, following
the sudden death of his parents, he was sent to live in a community in
Saigon, Vietnam where he continued to live the rest of his life.
Although Don was separated from China at an early age, he grew up to
appreciate the delicacy of traditional Chinese landscape painting, a
style of painting that was popular in the Song and Yuan Dynasties called
shan shui, or 'mountain, river'.
Don's photographs beautifully hark back to the traditional Chinese art and appreciation of landscape and peaceful nature.
