Our student YIN Li created a very fine real-life project (PGR) tied to the news of 2020.
As part of her Master in Art Marketing and Distribution, contemporary art specialization, Yin Li exhibited the artist Danhôo at the Sorbonne space.
Danhôo - Harmony
Danhôo delivers a collection of works full of passion and energy, a true pictorial symphony.
The start of 2020 was marked, among other things, by the death of George Floyd, COVID-19, the lockdown… These tragic successive events caused, and still cause, panic, helplessness, and depression in the human mind. Driven by a duty of social responsibility as a contemporary artist, Danhôo shares his experience with us through his works. His talent as a painter, combined with the current context from which he draws inspiration, is fully revealed to let us experience positive emotions that invite us toward a better future.
Danhôo integrates traditional Chinese calligraphy into his creation in an abstract way. Influenced by Jackson Pollock, he draws on the Dripping and All over techniques for his compositions, in which calligraphy blends ideograms and white backgrounds, work on the floor and pours, flat tints and relief. These blends of techniques make Danhôo a remarkable painter, whose compositions become almost sculptural, so worked are their reliefs.
In this exhibition, the artist sends us a message of harmony through the blending of cultures, combining Chinese traditions and Western abstract art. In today’s world, the intercultural harmony he puts forward in fact calls for a twofold harmony: tolerance among people and an almost scientific dimension, aiming to combine, with abstract work influenced by nature and landscapes, a human invention: calligraphy.
Like the words involved in his works, the artist suggests the attitude we should have in order to live together.
