sculptures sculptées

The exhibition, Sculptures sculptées, presents an exceptional group of works that testify to the artist’s ongoing commitment to exploring the medium as well as to his relationship with sculpture, a bond that is simultaneously humble, intimate, and spiritual and that he defines thus: “I am a sculptor and I sand with my hands. ” By mastering traditional carving techniques, according to an approach that is timeless and transcends any notion of style, Wang Keping manages to capture the quintessence of his subjects. A wide array of themes, representative of the artist’s work, are presented in the exhibition: female busts, couples, embraces, animal hybrids… Many different variations on these figures punctuate the exhibition space.
