On the occasion of Chinese New Year, the IESA arts&culture Gallery is hosting the works of Xing Qian Ye from February 2 to 18.
Having arrived in France at the end of the 80s, Xing Qian Ye, trained in traditional painting, has evolved his art in dialogue with the main artists of the 20th century, whose works he looked at and studied without denying the original forms and techniques of traditional Chinese painting. The exhibition proposes to confront his work with the gaze and culture of Professor Bernard Franco, a specialist in comparative literature and director of the Center for French Civilization at the Sorbonne.
The exhibition thus follows a first approach carried out as part of the joint seminar offered by the École nationale des Chartes and IESA arts&culture on the theme of intercultural travel.

To understand his work and see all its originality and contemporaneity, you must look at the details of the construction, the use of material, color, and light, almost forgetting the obvious first approach that would push our eye to categorize these works. Resisting the ease of analysis, the obvious, the use of an ultimately extremely limited vocabulary to say what we see, provided we take the time to look: this is the work of appraisal carried out systematically at IESA on all works, whatever their provenance.
