Exposition：
Ranee Yunne Nikel was a French-born female sculptor of Chinese descent who left a lasting mark on the art world. In the 1930s, she studied sculpture at the prestigious Sculpture Department of the Ecole Nationale Superieure Des Beaux-arts, where she fell in love with and later married her classmate Wang Lin Zhi, who was also a talented artist. Together, they overcame numerous obstacles and embarked on a journey that spanned decades, including living through China's Resistance War against Japan and the country's subsequent economic boom.
Despite the challenges she faced, Nikel remained committed to her craft and dedicated herself to teaching as a professor in the Sculpture department of Central Academy of Fine Art in the 1970s and 1980s. Her sculptures reflect a blend of Western and traditional Chinese sculpture concepts, characterized by simplified lines and personification techniques.
