Further details
Figurant parmi les représentants les plus créatifs de la génération d’artistes contemporains chinois ayant grandi dans les années 1980, Xu Qu explore des mediums variés, de la peinture à la sculpture, en passant par les installations ou la vidéo. Son travail prend la forme d’une critique de l’évolution actuelle de l’économie mondiale, tout en révélant la montée en puissance des pays émergents sur le plan monétaire, en particulier la Chine. Xu Qu tente de remettre au centre, par son corpus d’œuvres, la place fondamentale de l’art dissociée de toute appréhension financière ou de pouvoir. Exposé dans de nombreuses institutions en Chine, son travail est mis en lumière en France grâce à la Fondation Louis Vuitton qui l’associe à son exposition Bentu, des artistes chinois dans la turbulence des mutations, en 2016.
