About
Maleonn's photographs are like tales. Combining ancient theater costumes, surprising and edgy props, he takes us into a fable and tells us with poetry the story and culture of the chinese society. His univers is rich, both complexe and playful, he reveals the plurality of nowadays china, split between its traditions and its will to build the future.
Considered as one of the most weel-kept secret of the country in 2013, by the famous magazine Juxtapoz, Maleonn has travelled across China, with his Studio Mobil, meeting people from cities to towns. Maleonn is exhibited in Shanghai, Hong-Kong, Madrid, Bruxelles, Rome, New-York, Chicago or Paris. He receives many awards although he is beforeall the symbol of a whole generation. His photographs, from which the characters appear to evolve in ideal or dreamlike worlds, are true emblems for the young chinese generation, and now international.
