Exposition d’art France- Chine

The exhibition invites internationally renowned Chinese and French artists to participate, to explore together the similarities and differences between the arts of the two countries in the context of globalization and their origins, and to witness the “harmony and difference” between eastern elegance and French romanticism. The form of the works on display involves intertext in media, painting, photography, sculpture, devices, multimedia, new media, sound and other artistic fields, which present both interwoven chronological indices and contextual migrations of the time, but also how artists perceive the outside world, and how they choose to live in reality.

The academic organization of the exhibition revolves around three axes: The first is based on mutual learning between Chinese and French art in the artistic creation of Chinese masters who studied in France in the 20th century, represented by artists like Xu Beihong, Lin Fengmian at the beginning of the century, then Wu Guanzhong before and after the establishment of the new China, then Huang Yongping, Yang Jiechang, Shen Yuan and the young artists currently active between China and France; The second is based on the perspective of “French” artists and cultural workers, through French artists and cultural workers living in China, and Chinese artists and cultural workers living in France, to present mutual reflections and aspirations; And the third takes the Sichuan institute of fine arts and its achievements in teaching since the 20th century as an index, because the art institutes since the 20th century constitute a field of practice where Chinese and western cultures are inspired and mixed, and in the era of mutual learning of cultures, artists and cultural workers interact, in teaching and practice, Art is becoming international and constantly intertwined to produce a multitude of contemporary aspects.
