Yan Heng solo exhibition in Paris

Yan Heng, De la peinture, exhibition view at Galerie Sator

In 2012, “La Botanique du Rêve” was Yan Heng’s first solo exhibition in the West, which was hosted by Galerie Sator. At that occasion the european public discovered the 30 years old painter’s artworks and his singular and dream-like style. During four years, Yan Heng continued his pictorial experience, regularly showing his works in China, Singapore, Japan and Korea, while developing a style getting closer to installation. His canvases are now part of installation, that consists of different objects and tridimensional elements creating a new relation to space, which allows the artist to pursue further his pictural quest. For his second exhibition at Galerie Sator, Yan Heng chose to come back to the “pure” exercice of painting, to the pleasure of painting, as he defined it himself.
