Wang Keping 王克平 was born in Hebei province, near Beijing, in China.
|
| |
|
|
1978
|
First, he was an actor, then a factory worker and he wrote screenplays.
|
| |
As they are always rejected by the censure, he turned to sculpture to express
|
| |
his revolt, and began to use the salvaged wood.
|
|
|
|
|
|
He joined the group Xingxing, Stars,* first vanguard atistic movement in China.
|
| |
|
|
1979
|
He participated in the first unauthorised exhibition on the fence of the park fence
|
| |
adjoigning the
National museum of Beijing. The exhibition was soon repressed.
|
| |
His provocative sculptures are noticed by the public, including :
|
| |
Idol representing the face of Mao on the Buddha.
|
| |
Silence, head seeing only one eye, and mouth closed, will bee on the front page of
|
| |
The New York Times ( 19.10 1979 ). |
| |
|
|
1980
|
The group was allowed to exhibit in the Huafangzai Pavilion.
|
| |
|
|
1984
|
As the repression returned, he left China for France. He settled in Paris.
|
| |
|
| |
He continued to work with wood, following its natural forms, but he abandoned
|
| |
political subjects for a major theme: the representation of the female body.
|
| |
|
|
1986
|
First exhibition at the Zurich gallery in Paris.
|
| |
|
| |
