Co-Organizer: The French Embassy in China
As the most significant visual art event of Festival Croisements 2013, the French artist Jean-Pierre Raynaud will be holding an exhibition in China in Xin Dong Cheng Space for Contemporary Art with his latest works.
Jean-Pierre Raynaud is a renowned French artist. In 1993, he represented France in the national exhibition of the 45th Venice Biennale, and was awarded Prix d'honneur. Raynaud's artworks are never restrained to forms, advocating to break away from the limit of space and time with a full expression of personality and freedom. His masterpiece pot doré had been exhibited in the Beijing Palace Museum and Berlin. Afterwards it was placed in the Center Georges Pompidou. From material to architecture, and with the extension of environment, Raynaud's creativity conveys strong sense of sign and symbol.
These latest works are founded on his Neolithic Skull series of 1993. The image of skull is the most original and essential life form of human being. Beneath its rigid appearance, the powerful psychological energy is contained. After becoming a father, Raynaud tries to re-create the skull images, decorating them with delightful, feminine accessories as a record of the growth of his daughter. The touching paternal love is revealed most incisively from the works of this senior artist. With the transformation from wildness to sweetness, an "emotional subject" seems to have replaced his previous emphasis on "psycho-object". With the combination of the scary skeleton and innocent childness, Raynaud not only delivers a common theme of human feelings, but he also indicates the inheritance of life and the return of love. Through these artworks, the artist's insistence of absolute personal expression is well reflected with a true representation of his current state of mind.
This exhibition would last for more than three months. And it is a visual feast not to be missed for contemporary art lovers.

作为“2013年中法文化之春”最重要的视觉艺术展览，法国艺术家让-皮埃尔.雷诺（Jean-Pierre Raynaud）此次将携他的最新作品来到中国，在798程昕东国际当代艺术中心展开一场艺术之旅。
让-皮埃尔.雷诺是一位重要的法国艺术家。1993年，他曾代表法国参加第45届威尼斯双年展国家馆，并获得骑士勋章。雷诺的作品不拘泥于形式，倡导打破时空的局限，充分张扬个性与自由。他的代表作“金盆”(pot doré)曾在北京故宫、柏林等地展出，后被放置在了法国蓬皮杜艺术中心。从材料扩展至建筑，再延伸至作品放置的环境，雷诺的创作具有很强的标志性和象征性。
此次这批新作是建立在艺术家在1993年“新石器时代头骨”系列作品基础之上的再创作。头骨的形象乃是人类最原始，亦是最本质的生命形式，其僵化的外表之下蕴含着巨大的心理能量。现如今，已为人父的雷诺在这些头骨上添加了各种可爱而俏皮的小物件，记录下了孩子成长的点点滴滴。满满的父爱，在这位年逾七旬的艺术家作品中表现得淋漓尽致。从粗犷到细腻，从诉诸“心理客体”到充当“情感主体”，这批作品将悚然的头骨与天真的童趣结合在一起，既传达了人类共同的情感主题，也象征着生命的延续与爱的回归。雷诺在艺术上坚持绝对的自我表达，这批作品也正是他在这一阶段真实的内心写照。
此次展览将持续三个多月，对于热爱当代艺术的朋友来说，这无疑是一次不容错过的视觉盛宴。
