Post lot text

Figurant parmi les représentants les plus créatifs de la génération d’artistes contemporains chinois ayant grandi dans les années 1980, Xu Qu explore des mediums variés, de la peinture à la sculpture, en passant par les installations ou la vidéo. Son travail prend la forme d’une critique de l’évolution actuelle de l’économie mondiale, tout en révélant la montée en puissance des pays émergents sur le plan monétaire, en particulier la Chine. Xu Qu tente de remettre au centre, par son corpus d’œuvres, la place fondamentale de l’art dissociée de toute appréhension financière ou de pouvoir. Exposé dans de nombreuses institutions en Chine, son travail est mis en lumière en France grâce à la Fondation Louis Vuitton qui l’associe à son exposition Bentu, des artistes chinois dans la turbulence des mutations, en 2016.

‌One of the most creative representatives of the generation of contemporary Chinese artists who grew up in the 1980's, Xu Qu explores a variety of media, from painting to sculpture, installations and video. His work takes the form of a critique of the current evolution of the world economy, while revealing the rise of the emerging countries in terms of money, particularly China.
Through his body of work, Xu Qu attempts to bring back to the centre the fundamental place of art dissociated from any financial or power apprehension. His work has been exhibited in numerous institutions in China, and is now highlighted in France thanks to the Fondation Louis Vuitton, which included him in its exhibition Bentu, Chinese artists in the turbulence of change, in 2016.
