Paris in paper - Paris differently Metro Bir Hakeim Paper cutouts are an art form that has existed in China since the invention of paper. In a scholar like Wong Wa, the cultural heritage is obvious. His personal transcript is another. The cut paper is a form of shadow-light sculptures, a puzzle in the making. It gives greater freedom, more latitude in the composition and creation of the movement. An assiduous visitor to Parisian museums, Wong Wa thought of putting in image his vision of the landscape which is offered to him when he leaves the museum. After a quick sketch on the spot, the game will consist in exploring the impressions, the sensations of the time in order to recreate not the landscape between glimpses, but a new vision, a "Paris otherwise" far from realistic or photographic approaches, far too of the idea that the artist had formed of this landscape when he apprehended it. A thousand leagues from reproduction, imitation, a more expressionist art. It is not a question of adding yet another album inspired by Paris, but of revisiting the city in “sculpture paintings”, all in movement and in strokes of light. Monuments and sculptures, avenues and flags “show themselves” differently.

50 ans de recherches, +10000 œuvres créées

Né en Chine en 1953, Wong WA gagne la France en 1984 à la recherche d'une vie d'artiste dans la Ville lumière.

Il reste toujours imprégné de la riche tradition culturelle, littéraire, esthétique et philosophique chinoise, à laquelle il mêle les influences du monde artistique occidental, pour développer son art au cœur d'une multitude de cultures. 

Cette approche d'artiste pluriculturel se ressent dans l'ensemble de ses œuvres, qui se comptent par milliers, entre les peintures à l'encre, les sculptures, les papiers découpés


Bio

Wong Wa est originaire de la Province côtière du Fujian où il est né en 1953- dans une famille d’artiste et d’enseignant. Manifestant dès son jeune âge un grand intérêt pour les arts plastiques, il commence à l’adolescence son apprentissage auprès de grands artistes de différentes spécialités : peinture, calligraphie, gravure de sceaux, sculpture et peinture occidentale. Puis pendant quatre années il est employé par le Centre culturel municipal de Fuzhou, capitale de sa province natale.

En 1978, il décide de quitter la Chine pour Hongkong, ville qui constitue un pont aussi bien sur le plan intellectuel qu’architectural et social, entre l’orient et l’occident. Pendant sept ans, il travailla alors dans la publicité et réalisa nombre d'affiches de cinéma pour la Production Hongkongaise mais il approfondit également durant cette période sa connaissance de la calligraphie et des sceaux et publia régulièrement dans une revue une chronique critique sur le sujet.

A partir de 1980 il réalisa ses premières séries de sculptures.

En 1984, Wong Wa décida d'émigrer à nouveau et de gagner la France. Depuis presque 40 ans, il a créé sans interruption des milliers de sculptures et des milliers de peintures en restant toujours influencé par la riche tradition culturelle, littéraire, esthétique et philosophique et en particulier par l’ancien courant philosophique du Taoïsme.

De par sa position d'artiste chinois installé en Occident, il se trouve nécessairement en marge des courants artistiques proprement occidentaux, de leur évolution et de leur démarche. Résidant hors de Chine, il a également pu éviter la tentation commerçante de faire de l'artisanat. C'est ainsi que Wong Wa exprima dans ses œuvres le fruit de sa recherche personnelle.
