Gao Xingjian

The awakening of consciousness

The Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium are hosting six monumental works by Gao Xingjian, created especially for the place! In his "awakenings of consciousness", the artist invites the flâneur to cross the image and to meet, beyond the ink, the idea in its existential nudity ... where museums (re) become a space dedicated to contemplation.

2000 Nobel Prize in Literature, Gao Xingjian, French of Chinese origin, wants to be a "smuggler" between the oriental world which constitutes the base of his identity and the western world of which he discusses the idea of ​​modernity. His work is also a bridge between painting and writing.
