Post lot text

Wang Keping est un des chefs du groupe d’avant-garde chinois « Xing Xing » des années 1970. Il se concentre depuis ses débuts sur la pratique de la sculpture du bois. Keping s’efforce à choisir l’arbre, à le couper et à lui donner une forme cohérente, suivre ses courbes naturelles et révéler toute la beauté qu’il porte en lui et permet d’offrir au créateur. En cela, l’artiste capture humblement l’essence de son matériau. Avec une première exposition au Musée National des Beaux-Arts de Pékin, ses travaux ont été choisis pour figurer dans des centaines d’expositions autours du monde. Il est actuellement représenté et exposé dans la galerie Nathalie Obadia à Paris.
