Wang Keping
  • Biography from Kingsley Art Auction (CLOSED)

    Wang Ke-Ping was born in Beijing in 1949. He participated in "Stars Group" from 1979, and then became a live member. He has moved to France since 1984 till now.
    Wang's art career has kept close to wooden sculpture. In his early creation, he made those feelings of depression and resentment be shown in eccentric ways, resulting in great shock. Moreover, it is also a kind of modern design of anti-bureaucratic realism that initiates art's modernization.
    In 1984, Wang settled in France and then suddenly went without intervention and goals to oppose. Wang did not know where to restart create; nonetheless, he tried to build up his personal style. Afterwards, institutes including Government of Paris, Olympic Park in Seoul, and National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts all have Wang's collections. He later on hold several solo exhibitions in New York, Paris, London, and alike. This reflects that moving to France enables Wang Ke-Ping to face his works with a stricter and more inward attitude. Wang has been influenced a lot by Chinese philosophical aesthetics, so his creation in general tends to be more Eastern style. He chooses wood as material to present simplicity and nature of human.
