Like of Picasso in his time, there are countless young artists who are inspired by the work of Marc Desgrandchamps, or refer to it. He has indeed managed to become part of the history of art and, while embodying it in his paintings his own world, he has made it universal, which certainly explains why his paintings can be felt by fans of so many various countries, and why they were able to attract the attention of Chinese public.

The series specifically designed for this exhibition in Beijing is particularly notable in that it reveals a new state in his work. In recent years, the figures, the shapes of his paintings tended to fade out, to dwindle, to disappear, to become almost immaterial. Marc Desgrandchamps said, ‘Fixing that which is escaping could be a description of what is inscribed on the surface of my paintings. This is not an act of preservation, but rather the attempt to restore to visibility a burst of reality, such as it could appear to me momentarily in the movement of the world. It is an attempt to build, construct in representation what I call the monumental'.
