10 Chancery Lane Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition of Franco-Chinese master sculptor Wang Keping during Art Basel Hong Kong. The exhibition runs from March 22- May 11, 2024 to also coincide with The French May and the 60 year celebration of France and China’s cultural collaboration. The exhibition will feature a selection of his most significant works and celebrate his more than 45 years of making sculpture.
Sculptor Wang Keping celebrated his 75th birthday in 2024. The essence or vitality of his creations resides within the very wood he works with. His journey as a wood sculptor began four decades ago, when he was a spirited young individual in China, fighting alongside his comrades for the freedom to express contemporary art. Today, he stands as a master, a wise sage, and a philosopher, finding everything he needs within the confines of his garden. He has honed a distinctive style that at times feels intimate and flowing and at other times can elucidate a crude and primitive nature. He skillfully displays forms within forms and devises subtle slashes to evoke a certain emotion, a humorous gesture or a provocative intention.
Wang Keping has lived and worked in France since 1984. His most recent museum exhibitions include at the Musée Rodin, The Musée Guimet, The Chateau de Chambord, The Centre Pompidou France and at Hong Kong's M+ Museum. Wang Keping was made a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2015.
