Guanxi (le réseau)
Born in 1951 in Brazil, Saint Clair Cemin lives and works in Beijing, Paris and New York. In the 1990s he built his reputation on a revolutionary approach to sculpture rooted in a combination of ordinary shapes, references to craftwork and to historical sculpture. His works, built on a blend of precision crafting, noble materials and references to ancient Greece, Art Nouveau and surrealism, are as strangely humorous as they are sensual.
