Viac o knihe

A French plastic artist born in 1979 gained recognition through Starter Gallery, leading to a residency in 2015 at one of Chengdu's largest museums. This opportunity allowed him to showcase his work in three museums and engage with esteemed international artists like Xu Liaoyuan and Qiu Guangping. This experience birthed the “Signes” series, which propelled him to international acclaim with exhibitions in cities such as Chengdu, Shanghai, Paris, Lausanne, Hamburg, Rome, and Seoul. His work emphasizes human resonance, incorporating the plasticity of selected models to enhance expressiveness. The signs in his art reflect humanity, echoing ancient graphic frescoes found in grottos and on rocky surfaces, showcasing the artist's ability to convey his inner world through essential gestures. This transcends personal emptiness, tapping into collective imagination. Chris Calvet articulates the connection between the model's form and calligraphic lines as a representation of presence on earth, highlighting the bond between nature and humanity. His work pays homage to millennial art, reinterpreted by a young creator aiming for a vibrant, contemporary style. Calvet's images are timeless and universal, resonating with audiences in both Europe and Asia.
