LiFang. Edition bilingue français-anglais
Maël Bellec, Jean-Louis Poitevin, Selina Ting, Marjorie Keters
Born in China in 1968 and living in France since 2001, Li Fang capture in her paintings the oscillations of the contemporary world. Although her work is figurative, her technique, which uses large flat areas of colour like blocks sculpted from pictorial matter, clearly forges a link with abstraction. This stylistic unity unfolds in a variety of series that reflect her life and our times : portraits of loved ones, scenes of swimming, anonymous urban crowds, resistance to Chinese censorship, the tragedy of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea... Despite being current or seemingly simple, her themes echo universal feelings : the loneliness of modern society, the choice of exile, the tenderness of childhood, the power of water or the vitality of bodies in nature. Whether light or profound, joyful or tragic, Li Fang's work is timeless and open-ended, and this first monograph reveals its full richness.
