In the summer of 2018 Amalart brings into dialogue two artists from its network, the Monegasque Michel Aubéry and the Chinese Sun Dawei, in a two-person exhibition at the Espace Neptune in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, on the harbour, twenty minutes from Nice and even closer to Monte Carlo. The exhibition, organised by Amalart with Big Eyes Vision International, is open from 20 July to 2 August.
The title recalls the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", the ancient Chinese text populated by fantastic creatures. Aubéry, who as a child drew surreal animals in pencil and Indian ink, brings his sea creatures painted with an alphabet of signs, starting with a large turtle; Sun Dawei, a graduate of the Central Academy of Arts and Design in Beijing and an award winner in Singapore, Taiwan and mainland China, responds with his ink landscapes and portraits, accompanied by painted ceramics.
At the opening the room overlooking the harbour fills with guests, amid interviews and meetings. For Amalart it is another step in the dialogue between East and West that it has followed from the very beginning, and a new chapter in its work with Aubéry, which began at the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco.
