Contemporary sculptor Wang Keping is invited to invest the sculpture garden of the musée Rodin, Paris, as his open-air studio from may 3rd to June 5th. He delivers here a moving account of the impact of Rodin's art on his creative journey.
-----
Wang Keping was born near Beijing in 1949, into an educated, cultured family. Prevented by political censorship from fulfilling his artistic dreams, he co-founded the Chinese avant-garde ‘Stars’ group in 1979. Following government suppression of their first exhibitions, he moved to France in 1984 and went on to develop a very personal sculptural language combining the manual dexterity he values so highly, a mastery of Chinese tradition, and a highly contemporary expressiveness.
Rodin enjoyed having visits from other artists and exchanging with them. Ever since it was founded, his museum has pursued the tradition of inviting contemporary sculptors to work and exhibit within its walls. This year, our guest artist is Wang Keping, who will set up an open-air sculpture studio, until 5 June 2022, in the wooded part of the garden, where he will complete four large works. Once finished, they will resemble his sculpture L’Amour des Forêts (wood carving, evergreen oak, 2019).
