To start the new year in London, Magda Danysz Gallery exhibits Maleonn from January 6th to 27th in her Charlotte Street space. Maleonn is one of the most famous Shanghai photographers. Artist with many personalities, Maleonn has become the leader of an entire generation in China. Magda Danysz Gallery is proud to showcase an overview of his different series, showing the wealth of his work.

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.

She represents Maleonn since 2009 and shows here, for the first time in London, a retrospective of the artist, putting into the lights the richness of his body of work, with one thing in common: his recognizable and innovative style.
