Who is 223? (A.K.A Lin Zhi Peng)

East meets West - 223 represents the new Chinese generation.. Beautifully raw!

"Lin Zhipeng is one of the most important member of the new generation of photographers who rose to prominence from social media. Though very intimate, 223’s photographs act as a collective not-so-private diary of a young generation that wants to escape the pressures from the society and play with its limits. Lin Zhipeng’s pictures are never dramatic nor glaucous, sometimes punk and trash, sometimes very poetic. They carry a soft carelessness, a playful innocence, a certain optimism in an hedonist life going against the expected pleasures of the middle class dream." - De Sarthe Gallery.
