10 Chancery Lane Gallery

Until July 22

The 10 Chancery Lane Gallery is celebrating its fifth anniversary with an exhibition of Wang Keping's sculptures in wood and bronze.

The Beijing-born and Paris-based sculptor was one of the founders of the first non-conformist artist's group Xing Xing (the Stars) in the Chinese capital in 1979, and has exhibited extensively - mainly in Europe, but also in the US and Japan - during the past two decades.

Gallery owner Katie de Tilly says Wang is known for his sensual female figures that attract touch.

'His dark wood sculptures flow in the shapes of breasts and curves with such simplicity that the grain of the wood often times traces the lines of each curve,' she says.
