Jean-Marie Fiori was a painter, then a sculptor, and then both at once. For the past two decades, he has devoted himself to sculpture and the fusion of sculpture and architecture. Now many of his works are part of private collections in Europe, Asia, America as well as Africa.

Some of his works are at the Dumonteil Galerie from now until August 31.

What’s your favorite art form? Sculpture or painting?

I spent the first part of my life on painting, but I had never really found a satisfactory expression.  I came gradually to sculpture, but never want to abandon color. Then I created my favorite form - painted sculpture. And I find animal figures best allow me to develop my potential.

A glorious new photobook takes us inside China’s homes

At 69 years old, Dutch photo artist Robert van der Hilst is more interested in looking to the future than the past. “In 50 years, I hope people will look at this book. I consider it a good document about China, to show people how Chinese live inside their homes,” he says.

Putuo District residents stopped city officials erasing graffiti in their old residential lane last month. Many residents said they preferred the graffiti made by foreign artists to fliers usually stuck or painted on their walls. Resident, Chen Jisheng says “I like it and I don’t want the artistic works on my wall to be covered”.

One of the artists, German Akim Walta, 40, says the graffiti was designed ‘with local identity’ in mind - like an image of a child in a bathtub, located over a real drain outlet in the lane. Mathias Khler, another artist, said locals ‘even asked us to paint their walls and showed us their ideas’ after they had seen the artists’ work elsewhere.
 
Officials said they did things according to what residents' want, and if they want to keep the street art, it's okay. But they also cited some residents who opposed the graffiti saying “we don’t know their language and we didn’t know what they were going to paint”.
