Émile Phaneuf, French-Canadian, completed his BFA in Sculpture with honours from Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, and holds an MFA in Sculpture from Tsinghua University in Beijing. With a substantial exhibition record, including shows in both Canada and China, he recently received the "Creative Innovation" award at the Wuhu Museum 2023 Anhui Province Biennale and has garnered support from the Canadian Embassy’s Quebec Bureau for his most recent exhibition at Parkgreen Fangcaodi in Beijing. Émile continues to deepen his understanding of the interconnections between Western and Chinese contemporary art. Fluent in English, French, and Chinese, he advocates for multiplying cross-cultural interactions between East and West. Safety, collaboration, and inclusion are the three keywords he promotes in the classroom.
