It is not the first time that Christopher Le Brun, one of the leading British painters celebrated internationally since the 1980s, has entered the contemporary art scene in China. He had already been there in 2019 with an exhibition organized by the Lisson Gallery in Shanghai and again in 2021 with two interventions, at the Red Brick Art Museum and at the MoCAUP. An artist who ranges from figurative to abstract, who fluently engages in various disciplines, painting, sculpture and printing, Le Brun is also a public figure who has held prestigious positions, for example he was president of the Royal Academy of Arts in London from 2011 to 2019. In his new solo exhibition in Beijing he presents Phases of the Moon, a multi-panel painting that reveals the cyclical nature of his practice with a lunar motif that dates back to one of his first oil paintings and Lontano, a triptych that shares the title with a piece by the composer Gyorgy Ligeti written in 1967, which embodies the artist's belief that painting should primarily have a sensual and emotional appeal.
Wu Chen's investigation focuses on "power", that is, the psychological impression that art has on those who observe it. A series of works recounts the artist's new challenge.
