ABOUT THE ARTSIT

王克平(1949年出生于北京)在中国当代史上是一位极具历史意义的艺术家。1979年，他与艾未未、黄锐、马徳升等携手成立了抵制因循守旧之风的非官方艺术家组织—星星画会，以代表作《沉默》和《偶像》为人所熟知。

王克平于1984年移居巴黎，他的创作开始专注于木这一材质的精髓，拥抱自然形态赋予他的启迪。90年代初，王克平开启了他对铜塑的探索之旅。他致力于用铜这一材质凝固人与自然的永恒之美，将他非常重视的手工技巧、对中国传统的精通以及高度现代的表现力相结合。

WANG Keping (b.1949, Beijing) is one of the key figures in the most historic art movement in the history of contemporary China. In 1979, along with Ai Weiwei, they founded an unofficial anti-conformist artist group named “Xing Xing” (The Stars), notable names among the members including Huang Rui, and Ma Desheng. He is well recognized for his work "Silence" and "Idol".

In 1984, he moved to Paris. There, he discovered the essence of wood and allowed himself to be guided and inspired by the natural forms of the material.

In the early 1990s, Wang Keping began to explore bronze. He chose to present the eternal beauty of this material. He reinterpreted the wooden forms in bronze with patina to create a unique rendering, with the boundaries between stone, wood, and metal, combining the manual dexterity he values so highly, mastery of Chinese tradition, and a highly contemporary expressiveness.
