CHRISTIAN SORG

Christian Sorg is a French painter who lives and works in France and Spain. After receiving a classical education at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris and regularly studying in the Louvre’s drawing department, he took part in numerous exhibitions, notably at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1977 (Travaux Paris 77) and in 1983 (Tendances de l’Art en France).

In the early 1990s, following many stays in Aragon, a new pictorial calligraphy emerged for him. He explored the preserved landscapes of the sierras, visited prehistoric sites in the Levant region as well as those in Arcy-sur-Cure, very close to his studio in Burgundy. Drawing from these physically and emotionally intense experiences, Christian Sorg draws, paints, marks, and transposes onto canvas the powerful presence of early human artworks, the fragility of the world and the environment, and the fleeting brilliance of life. Christian Sorg is a contemporary voice that reconnects with the most ancient echoes. To date, he has held more than 400 exhibitions in France and abroad.
