In this exhibition, there are the following:
The famous series from Andy Warhol, such as Flower series, Monroe series, Hair series.
Works from XU Deqi, such as the Fish-girl series and Aquatic girl series
The two artists describe the contemporary era in the same art form of pop.
In fact, there is one more common ground between these two artists: seek a colorful, happy and exciting world, and explore the most wonderful moments in everyday life
How did they make it?
Take the example of Campbell's soup by Andy Warhol, he can turn an ordinary pot into a work of art, and it is certainly worth pondering on. Another example is Morandi who finds the dignity of painting from the clang of bottles and cans.
Similarly, Andy Warhol translates faces of the celebrities, such as Monroe Marilyn, a confused face and a rigid smile, a brief happiness of life with the dramatic changes in the upcoming hidden behind. He invades the whole painting with a strong color, which almost tears apart the original appearance of the portrait and hides such a celebrity completely in the color so strong that it's almost broken.
There are many similarities between XU Deqi, and Andy Warhol, such as the use of image of celebrities to convey the joy and happiness of life, which has a positive social significance.
Quite contrary to the struggling pains expressed by Andy Warhol, what XU Deqi expresses is happiness and hopes for life. He uses the positive factors of dissemination and advertising to express the pop perspective of the artist.
XU Deqi is one of the most famous Chinese artists in the world. Not only in Europe, but in any place where he has given exhibitions, there will be lots of collectors falling in love with his works. And he has become a valuable contemporary Chinese artist.
The charm of XU Deqi's works lies in the characteristics of Chinese culture both in the expression of the themes and the use of color, which attracts the attention of both the East and West. The identifiability, interestingness and the strong expressive consciousness of his works makes them the most photographed pieces in the Paris Art of 2014.
