"I am honored to be among the few who have lived to see their works being collected in the Louvre," says Song Dong when sharing pictures of his paintings on social media. The 57-year-old Chinese artist is known for his daring abstract oil paintings and diverse body of works that crosses cultural and national barriers. Song Dong, who has remained close contact with French architects and fashion designers over the years, devised a multi-dimensional art form known as Omni-directional Integrative, or ODI, with the goal of weaving the idea of art into every sphere of life that can be universally appreciated by all.
