From January 15 to February 15, 2011, Hadrien de Montferrand Gallery, located in Beijin, presents a solo exhibition of Kristina Heckova, a young artist from Slovakia, winner of the 2010 FID Prize.

Kristina Heckova, a young student in 5th year at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, has won the first edition of the prize of the International Drawing Art Fair of the 21th century in March 2010.

Awarded by a jury of art professionals, the 2010 FID prize consisted of a one month solo exhibition at Hadrien de Montferrand gallery in Beijin : a rewarding experience for an emerging artist.

Created in 2009 by Hadrien de Montferrand, with the help of Laurent Dassault, Hadrien de Montferrand Gallery is the first gallery in China entirely dedicated to original works on paper by chinese and international artists.

Internationally oriented, Hadrien de Montferrand Gallery has chosen to present exhibitions of works in pencil, ink, gouache, felt, charcoal, watercolor and any other medium on paper.

This exhibition is a rewarding experience for this 26 year-old artist whose pure line aims at depicting a bestiary around white spaces.

The series of drawings entitled “Les animaux morts” (The Dead Animals) is composed of portraits of animals being tortured wtih a terribly calm face. This series of drawings express the suspended dialogue between humans and animals.
