Description
Opening & presentation of TANG's work in an exhibition. The exhibit will open on 16 Jan and remain open until 19 Jan. Tang finds his inspiration in nature. He invites you to share his subjective vision of the tree through a journey into the wooded hills of South-East of France. For Tang, a tree is like a person. It can be presented like a zoomed portray of branches from a large canopy in the “EDA” series or exposed in groups and crowds within large panoramic horizontal layouts in the “TAIGA”. It may also invite you to a more abstract and intimate promenade in his series “WOODSMOOD”. Originally a graphic designer, Tang adopted a pure artistic career ten years ago. He exhibits in France and abroad, particularly in Japan where he used to live. His paintings are exhibited in several art galleries in Paris, Dubai and Tokyo. Over the years, he has gained the respect and fidelity of several private collectors. His studio is in the old quarter of Lyon where he lives.
Tang Tang
My name is Tang, I am a French painter, 41 years old, living in Lyon. Born in the countryside in the South of France and being in love with nature, trees and branches slowly appeared in my work as they had always enriched my daily routine and helped build my imagination. What fascinates me with a tree is that it is the ideal object, a true witness of time, as the arm of a clock that changes constantly. It changes from a somber architecture in winter to an explosion of a multitude of greens and flowers in the spring with a welcoming umbrella protecting with its fresh shadows during the summer, and fireworks of warm and rusted colours in the fall. All enthused by these abstract feelings, it is after two years in Japan between 2009 and 2011 that trees have definitively invaded my studio. In Japan I discovered the peculiar man-tree relationship in parks and gardens, the art of contemplation and the interest of the entire people for this mute but expressive companion. My EDA pieces, which means branches in Japanese, are a tribute to this period of my life. Website links for further info:http://tangworks.blogspot.com/
