About the Artist
Director of the Sculpture Department for the Académie des Beaux Arts. It is thanks to him that abstract and conceptual sculpture have been accepted by the chinese authorities. Surpassing China's borders, he is probably one of the most promising sculptures of the 21st century.The red dinosaur – a symbol of imperialist China, like communist China- with the engraved door on the chest mentions ‘Made in China’; it is a glance toward plastic toys from the start of the Chinese economic flight, but definitely a powerful symbol of an antiquated China moving toward being contemporary.
