Lot description
One of the most famous young Chinese Contemporary photographers working today, Wang Ningde's figurative black and white, large-scale photographs are famed for their quietly surreal yet visceral compositions and themes. "Some Days No. 34" (2005) is one of the most sublime images from the artist's famed "Some Days" series of photographs. This photograph measure 48 1/2 inches x 59 1/4 inches unframed and is edition 2 of 10. The photograph is in excellent condition.

In "Some Days No. 34" a man on a bicycle pedals to nowhere with eyes closed, set against a dramatic, empty sky-line, seemingly living somewhere between reality, memory, and imagination. The artist's most famous works from this Series, feature a lone figure in an act of movement or journey with the general concept behind the artist's "Some Days" Series grounded in the desire that each image express a notion of universal time: absolute and unchanged.

Wang Ningde was born in Liaoning Province in 1972, China and graduated in 1995 from Luxin Art Institute. He has shown in major international museums like the Asia Society Museum in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Seattle Art Museum in Washington, Kunstmuseum Bern in Switzerland, the 2005 Lianzhou International Photographic Exhibition in China, the 2004 Shanghai Biennale and many more. The artist currently lives and works in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, China.
