He belongs to the first generation of Chinese avant-garde artists, active since the second-half of the 1980s. He was also one of the first Chinese artists to exhibit in the West (at \u0026lsquo;Les Magiciens de la Terre\u0026rsquo;, Centre Pompidou, Paris, 1989), and he now enjoys worldwide fame and recognition. The oeuvre of Dexin is characterized by apparent contradictions. Themes like sensuality and decay are recurrent in his work. Another striking contrast is that a part of his oeuvre seems lighter in terms of content, while another part is much heavier, more aggressive and more violent. And it is mainly in the \u0026lsquo;heavier\u0026rsquo; work that the artist\u0026rsquo;s black humor comes to the fore.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGu Dexin \u003c/strong\u003eis \u0026eacute;\u0026eacute;n van de belangrijkste hedendaagse Chinese kunstenaars.

Het oeuvre van Dexin wordt gekenmerkt door schijnbare tegenstrijdigheden. Zo laat hij thema\u0026#39;s als zinnelijkheid enerzijds en verval anderzijds geregeld terugkomen in zijn werken. Een ander opvallend contrast is dat een deel van zijn oeuvre lichter lijkt qua inhoud en een ander deel veel zwaarder, agressiever en gewelddadiger. Vooral in het \u0026lsquo;zwaardere\u0026rsquo; werk komt de zwarte humor van de kunstenaar tot uiting.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"locations":[{"country":"CN","place":"Beijing","category":{"en":"Lives in","nl":"Leeft in","fr":"Vit à"}},{"country":"CN","place":"Beijing","category":{"en":"Born in","nl":"Geboren in","fr":"Né à"}}]}
