Introduction
Running in parallel with Chinese Avant-garde in Paris at Alisan Fine Arts Central for the gallery’s 45th-anniversary, this exhibition at
Alisan Atelier gathers 4 contemporary artists who currently live and work in Paris, Li Donglu, Yao Qingmei, Shi Qi, and Qi Zhuo. Each
artist transforms inherited materials, images, and ideas within contemporary spatial and conceptual frames. From Li’s dramatic dreamscape
paintings and Yao’s meditations on time and loss to Shi’s folded paper reliefs and Qi’s reparative and subversive sculpture, the
exhibition recasts lineage as a living engine for the present.
