Graduating in 2021, Swann Ronné is the 2023 winner of the 1st edition of the Zao Wou-Ki Foundation scholarship, the result of a partnership with the Beaux-Arts de Paris, which consists of the award of 4 scholarships a year, intended to promote the artistic careers of French⸱es and Chinese⸱es students and graduates⸱es of the Beaux-Arts de Paris and the China Academy in Hangzhou.
This financial support enabled her to carry out a post-graduate project consisting of a 10-month residency and an exhibition at the Galaxy Museum of Contemporary Art in Chongqing, a fast-developing Chinese megalopolis.
Swann Ronné's painting is based on a system of montage and slippage between gesture and language. This approach is governed by an eye that feeds on urban visual environments.
These excellent working conditions have enabled the young French painter to produce new works in monumental format. They will be on view in 600m² of gallery space during his solo exhibition I Just Need A Sign / 我只要一个符号 from 27 July to 26 October 2024.
