Today, Galerie Loft presents a selection of works inviting us to journey through its thirty years of history.
Featuring Jacques Monory, Peter Klazen, Philippe HIQUILY, CÉSAR, CHEN Man, CHEN Weinong, LI Lihong, LI Chaoxiong (Arx LEE), SUI Jianguo, Hong Hao, Guillaume Piéchaud, Mehdi Mirbagheri and other renowned artists.
For over 30 years now, Galerie Loft has been committed to showcasing and supporting emerging artists from around the world. From Parisian graffiti artists, whose urban works took over the gallery space before spilling out into the streets... To photographer-performers from the Beijing East Village, and Chinese sculptors whose iconic figures would sweep across the Western world, such as the "Made in China" dinosaur by Sui Jianguo. From monumental Hiquily-style wind vanes, rising 12 meters high, that came to enrich the urban landscape of Shanghai during the 2010 World Expo... To painters, sculptors, photographers, urban artists, designers, and video artists, a whole panorama of creators from every corner of the globe, most of them still emerging when they first entered Galerie Loft.

Artists

Li Lihong

Li Lihong

Born in 1974 in Jingdezhen, a city that has been considered for centuries as the world capital of porcelain, LI LIHONG started his training of the arts of ceramics at a very young age under the supervision of the great master Qin Xiling. Even if his work finds inspiration in the traditional royal porcelains, that have made the reputation of his village, Li Lihong conceives his works with a completely contemporary approach. He reinvents Chinese porcelain in a radical manner; after having taken in all the different international influences that the Chinese assimilated after the implantation on their territory of worldwide firms such as Coca-Cola or Mac Donald’s in the 1980’s.

Sui Jianguo

Sui Jianguo

Born in Qingdao, Shandong province in 1956, Sui Jianguo studied sculpture at the Shandong Academy of Fine Arts, then at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, where he now serves as a professor and director of the sculpture department. World famous for his dinosaurs and his Mao jackets, Sui Jianguo has exhibited all over the world and his works are present in many public collections

Mehdi Mirbagheri

Mehdi Mirbagheri

Mehdi Mirbagheri, a contemporary Iranian artist, was born in 1980, Tehran. At the beginning of his creation, he turned to the new mediums and mixed the various techniques up (photo, graphics, painting and collage) for developing his own visual identity. He tried the different artistic experiences, like video installation and performance. Since 2008, he turned to Pop Art and created the works which inherited the pictorial codes of Lichtenstein who mixed up the Persian and the Arabic calligraphy.
