More tradition than Revolution, the Chinese artists introduced by Gallery Obadia continue a calligraphic tradition in formats and materials adapted to the international audiences of contemporary art. A well-curated show, it presents works like Gu Wanda’s imaginary alphabets : made of human hair collected around the world, ‘the United Nations’ is a project started in 1993.
Meanwhile, while Chinese artists are more and more welcome in Paris or New-York, censure continues against them in their home country.
