Post lot text

Le goût pour la série et la narration de Duan Jianyu rend compte dans son travail de l’importance de l’histoire et de l’évolution de la société chinoise. Dans un langage visuel jouant volontairement avec les codes de la fausse naïveté, elle mêle des caractéristiques issues de la tradition et du monde post-moderne : tant les poules, allégorie de la Chine des campagnes, que la représentation d’un intérieur occidental participent d’un examen de la réalité d'une population rurale à l’identité bousculée par la modernisation. L’artiste incorpore des références à la fois de la tradition moderniste occidentale et de l'histoire de l'art chinois, allant du primitivisme et de l'art abstrait au réalisme socialiste et au travail des peintres chinois du début du XXème siècle qui ont consciemment incorporé les styles de peinture occidentaux dans leurs pratiques. Ses scénarios incongrus dérangent, interpellent autant qu’ils touchent. Ses toiles dévoilent alors un quotidien banal où se déroule le rêve plein de douceur de la lutte avec une réalité optimiste. Duan Jianyu a reçu le Chinese Contemporary Art Award (CCAA) du meilleur artiste en 2010. Nombre de ses œuvres sont aujourd’hui exposées au Guggenheim à New York et au M+ Museum à Hong Kong.

Duan Jianyu's taste for series and narrative reflects in her work the importance of history and the evolution of Chinese society. Through a visual language that deliberately plays with the codes of false naivety, she mixes features from tradition and the post-modern world: both the chickens, an allegory of rural China, and the representation of a Western interior are part of an examination of the reality of a rural population whose identity has been shaken by modernisation. The artist incorporates references from both the Western modernist tradition and Chinese art history, ranging from primitivism and abstract art to socialist realism and the work of early twentieth-century Chinese painters who consciously incorporated Western painting styles into their practices. Her incongruous scenarios are disturbing, challenging as well as touching. Her paintings reveal a banal everyday life where the sweet dream of struggle with an optimistic reality unfolds. Duan Jianyu received the Chinese Contemporary Art Award (CCAA) for best artist in 2010. Many of her works are now on display at the Guggenheim in New York and the M+ Museum in Hong Kong.
