Artists
Bernard Quentin
Art is a language, a unique form of expression that allows artists to experiment as well as for the public to have intense and new feelings. Amongst these artists that have in the 20th century known how to question the world, there is a man who, in his 96th year of age, has preserved his desire to explore and continues to work on these ways to communicate. BERNARD QUENTIN was born in 1923 in Flamicourt (Picardie, France). After the Second World War he starts to produce works that have writing as basis, assuming that the ideal form to unite people is language. During his relentless quest to conceive universal signs, he comes to make monumental pieces, but also starts using original materials or tries to establish a real “semiology” of art. Passed away in June 2020, he will have never stopped creating throughout his life, and his participation in Art for All proves once again his dedication to designing works for everyone.
Christos Kalfas
His work explores the language of myths and other stories of her culture, in juxtaposition with our modernity. Many personal exhibitions followed, in international fairs such as Fiac, Art Basel, Art Brussels, etc.; and in galleries such as Patrice Trigano, LOFT gallery (Paris), Pascal Polar (Brussels), Athens gallery and Lola Nicolas in Greece. The Museum of Modern Art of Saint-Étienne devotes a personal exhibition to him on his engraved work, as does the Picasso Museum of Antibes.
Wang Keping
Wang Keping is one of the most eminent members of Stars Art Group (xing xing 星星画会) , a foundational movement of the contemporary Chinese avant-garde active in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His wood sculptures blackened by fire and were firstly inspired by totem and by idols who reminded of folkloric tutelary figures in north of China and in Korean. Then his creation turned to the simple formes with the themes : women wearing a bun, kiss/couple, bird, masculine figures with tail, and a pair of teat. The simplification and purification were embodied in his sculptures, moreover, in the best cases reminded of Constantin Brancusi’s works.
Yang Liming
“When I am calm and meditate on my inner mind, I can feel a rotating space that slowly lights up and produces many more rays of light. What I paint is not just abstract painting, it is literally a "concretely" projection of what I feel. For me, absolutely all of these elements are tangible, including color, structure, circles or direction of light. "
