  • Galerie Magda Danysz
    Press release SLEEPING BEAUTY GROUP SHOW PARIS 21 FEB – 4 APRIL 2015 Prune Nourry, Hand Machine, 2012 – Christian Gonzenbach, Chicken kit, 2002 Magda Danysz gallery presents from February 21st to April 4th the exhibition SLEEPING BEAUTY. This event shows together the artists of the gallery through a selection of emblematic works. Magda Danysz shows face-to- face various artworks from Prune Nourry’s sculptures, billboard works by VHILS or Peikwen Cheng’s photos. SLEEPING BEAUTY is built up as a "vis à vis" of artworks that dialogue one with the other. The inherent power laying in each particular artwork, their inner meaning and underlying significations is something the SLEEPING BEAUTY show aims at focusing on. Each artwork is presented in a "face à face" with another artwork. The choice of each of these one to one dialogues is made to accentuate the power of each artpiece. One will revolve around the idea of power with Zhang Dali's "Second History" painting and Ma Kang's "Forbidden city - Chairman Mao" photograph. In another part of the show one will discover Prune Nourry's artistically enhanced "Hand Machine" facing swiss artist Christian Gonzenbach industrial chicken sculpture. Human creative intelligence sometimes morphs into a mechanical hybrid evolution many artists point out in their works. This sleeping power/beauty is also at stake in Shepard Fairey's propaganda imagery showcased through an extensive collection of his prints. What lays behind these marketed images is also the paradox of our societies. Beyond the powerful reflections she created between the works, SLEEPING BEAUTY is also an opportunity to discover a wide collection of screenprints by Shepard Fairey.

    Press release PARIS CHINESE NEW YEAR GROUP SHOW 28 FEB – 11 MARCH 2017 Artists : Wang Keping, Wang Tong, Zhang Dali AN ARTY CHINESE NEW YEAR Deeply settled in the Chinese art scene and based in Shanghai since 2009, Magda Danysz explores a large panorama of the thematics and techniques used by Chinese contemporary artists. Chinese New Year is a festive and joyful exhibition. An artistic celebration of the passage from the Monkey to the Roaster. No monkeys or roosters in this exhibition, it would have been too easy.

While preparing her next opening in March in a new space in Shanghai, Magda Danysz gallery celebrates the Chinese New Year in Paris with an exhibition dedicated to the most promising artists of their generation. From Wang Keping to Huang Xiaoling to the stars Zhang Dali or Maleonn.

  • Time Immemorial
    GALERIE PARIS-BEIJING YANG YONGLIANG 62, rue de Turbigo - 75003 Paris Time Immemorial Vernissage le samedi 4 novembre 2017, de 15h00 à 21h00 Exposition du 4 novembre au 23 décembre 2017 Prevailing Winds, 2017, single-channel 4K video, 7’00’’ La Galerie Paris-Beijing est heureuse de présenter Time Immemorial dévoilant les nouvelles photographies et installations vidéo de Yang Yongliang. L’artiste basé à Shanghai continue de bousculer notre conscience collective, questionnant nos problèmes économiques, environnementaux et sociaux, anticipant les effets dévastateurs de l’urbanisation effrénée et de l’industrialisation en Chine comme ailleurs. Inspiré par la culture ancestrale et le célèbre Shan Shui,* Yang Yongliang pratique la photographie numérique à la manière d’un peintre. La vision d’ensemble de son oeuvre rappelle celle d’un paysage, mais un examen minutieux révèlera une image composée de formes créées par la main de l’homme et la représentation d’un contexte résolument urbain. Les arbres qui caractérisent les peintures classiques de la dynastie Song deviennent des tours en treillis métallique ou des pylônes sur lesquels sont tirées des lignes électriques. Ses habitants sont coupés de l’environnement naturel et semblent mener une vie qui va de pair avec une sorte de pseudo anonymat. Avec la nouvelle série Time Immémorial (2016) l’artiste continue de développer une approche critique de la réalité tout en cherchant une source de spiritualité dans la marche inexorable de son pays entre progrès technologique et annihilation. L’imagerie urbaine contemporaine en total décadence est The Path, 2016, giglee print on fine art paper, 80 x 80 cm toujours omniprésente: les montagnes recouvertes des gigantesques gratte-ciel en ruines seront bientôt submergées par la monté des eaux, qui occupent de plus en plus la surface.

Je voulais trouver un nouveau média, plus contemporain, capable de capter l'esprit de la peinture de paysage.
