Post lot text

A travers ses sculptures spectaculaires, Wang Du dénonce avec ironie la frénésie des médias et les flux d’informations des sociétés contemporaines, semblant transformer le réel en virtuel. Pour imposer une mise à distance de cette effervescence envahissante, il extrait des journaux à sensation certaines images, les agrandit à outrance, les déforme et les traduit en 3 dimensions. Ayant grandi durant la Révolution culturelle chinoise, vivant et travaillant aujourd’hui à Paris, Wang Du demeure encore fortement marqué par la propagande qu’il a connue étant jeune, par la répression et la restriction des libertés. Ses sujets de sculpture en résine, comme l’œuvre ici présentée, sont souvent des femmes, libres, émancipées, presque insouciantes et provocatrices. Wang Du a exposé dans de nombreux musées internationaux, parmi lesquels le Palais de Tokyo en 2005.
‌
Through his spectacular sculptures, Wang Du ironically challenges the frenzy of the media and the flow of information in contemporary society, which seems to transform the real into the virtual. To distance himself from this invasive effervescence, he extracts certain images from sensationalist newspapers, enlarges them to excess, distorts them and translates them into three dimensions. Having grown up during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, and now living and working in Paris, Wang Du is still strongly marked by the propaganda he experienced as a young man, by the repression and restriction of freedom. His resin sculpture subjects, like the work presented here, are often women, free, emancipated, almost carefree and provocative. Wang Du has exhibited in many international museums, including the Palais de Tokyo in 2005.
