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.

And in Shanghai where Magda is preparing for a new adventure in a new space in the heart of the city in collaboration with Naço Agency. Chinese New Year is a range of talents from the Chinese art scene, all supported and represented by Magda Danysz.

Most of these artists are often inspired by the classical aesthetic tradition and they make references to the great historical Chinese culture by creating delicate and dreamlike works full of lightness.
