Ding Yi

Galerie Karsten Greve Paris is pleased to announce the exhibition Scintillement dedicated to the artist Ding Yi, one of the unequivocal protagonists of contemporary Chinese art. Ding Yi's work reflects a voluntary detachment from all iconographic and figurative reference. Since the beginning of his practice, the artist has moved away from Chinese tradition and the academy, choosing abstraction instead. Whether in paintings or drawings, the works of Ding Yi are made through the repetition of the same module manually applied over the entire surface. The line that is omnipresent and reproduced everywhere is the + sign, which keeps reappearing, evoking a kind of mapping where possible routes are multiple and when looked at closely, infinite.
