About the Artist

Jorge Shen is a Taiwanese photographer with a distinct interest in people, architecture, and natural beauty, and he frames his subjects to emphasize their striking elegance. The content of Shen's work is timeless, though the artist employs traditional techniques and modern digital editing with Photoshop to experiment with his images. Shen hopes to create a harmonic mixture of abstract and impressionist images in the variety of nature, buildings, and human beings - a philosophy inspired by the many master photographers of the 20th century. The artist cites Alfred Stieglitz, Man Ray, and Sebastião Salgado as some of his most profound influences, and he also refers to the Chinese culture and Buddhist principles as an important source of inspiration in his work.

Jorge Shen dedicates his life entirely to photography. Between 1987 and now, he has held one hundred solo exhibitions with different subjects. Not only is he a professional artist who has sold his work in galleries, libraries, cultural centers, and private collections, but he also teaches photography at school and serves as Chairman in his community’s Photo Society. The artist currently works and resides in Taipei.
