Ren Hang, the tragic destiny of a photography prodigy
The Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris is organising the first exhibition dedicated to Ren Hang’s work since his tragic passing. In this article, Artsper pays tribute to the young artist, a talented photographer known for the originality of his nude photographs. His work, as intense as it was brief, celebrated sensuality and the naked beauty of life with melancholy. He passed away before even celebrating his 30th birthday but his poetic art lives on for him.
