danhôo

Born in 1966, Danhôo is a French artist of Chinese origin. Initiated by artists such as Olivier Debré, Vladimir Velickovic, Erro, Antonio Segui and Robert Combas, the simple curiosity of Danhoo turned into real passion.

With a calligraphic base proposing ideograms whose mining emphasizes Chinese culture, Danhôo's writing is accompanied by color codes and gestures nourished by contemporary artists who have transmitted with him their stories over the last thirty years.

Danhôo's work presents the fruit of this hive. The shadow of the gesture highlights a type of writing which symbolizes the dreams, the passions and the superstitions related to an immigrant child's education. As an alternative to Jackson Pollock's dripping, Danhôo's painting projections are born from an air gesture tracing the Chinese characters symbolizing Love, Dream, Money, Happiness, Sharing, Friendship, and Family above the canvas.

The marriage bet ween Danhôo's contemporary painting and traditional Chinese writing reveals to the public the abandonment of academic education in favor of a dynamic writing. It relates to what art critic Michel Tapie called "the inner necessity".

Danhôo is like the bandmaster of a set of pictorial symphonies who is making the apology of emotions from the present moment. The notes vibrate and juggle between two cultures.
