« [English follows] [cette] œuvre de Pien est caractéristiques de la production [...] de l'artiste, qui se compose de pièces conçues au moyen de la technique de la découpe de papier. Il s'agit d'une technique inspirée de l'art ancestral chinois du papier découpé, que l'artiste adopte en 2004 au retour d'un voyage en Chine qu'il avait effectué afin d'approfondir ses recherches sur les mythes et légendes qui peuplent le folklore de cette nation. Au cours de ce voyage, Ed Pien fut profondément fasciné par cette forme d'art traditionnel, qu'il adapte à son retour afin d'orienter ses recherches plastiques dans une direction jusqu'alors inédite. Ses univers fantastiques habités par d'étranges personnages sont ici obtenus par des coupes exécutées dans de grandes bandes de papier shoji teint à la main. Il lui arrive également de transposer cette technique à d'autres supports, comme une bâche de toile imperméable, ou de combiner le papier à un matériel réfléchissant de type 3M qui offre, au contact de la lumière, d'étonnants effets chatoyants.

___________

This artwork is typical of Pien’s paper cut-outs series. This technique was inspired by the ancient Chinese art of paper cutting, which he adopted in 2004 on returning from China, where he had gone to continue his research into the myths and legends of Chinese folklore. During this trip the artist became excited about this traditional art, and after his return he adapted it to take his art in a new and hitherto unexplored direction. He combines the paper with 3M reflective sheeting, which when illuminated produces wonderful shimmering effects.


Ed Pien is a Taiwanese-born Canadian artist who has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally, including at the Drawing Centre, NYC; the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; The Canadian Culture Centre in Paris; The Goethe Institute in Berlin; The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria; The Art Gallery of Ontario; Musée des beaux arts de Montréal; Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; Songzhuang Art Centre, Beijing; the National Art Gallery of Canada; as well as Oboro. He has participated in the 2000 and 2002 Montreal Biennales; the 18th Edition of the Sydney Biennale, “Oh Canada”, at MASS MoCA. Pien also presented work at the 5th Edition of the Moscow Biennale and the Beijing International Art Biennale. He will be featured in the Havana Biennal this November and currently in a solo exhibition at the Musée d’art de Rouyn-Noranda. His work can be found in numerous public institutions including the National Gallery of Canada.
