Genesis: A New Generation of Chinese Artists / by Shuai Yang

Inspired by styles and ideas from China’s rich cultural past, as well as being informed by its robust contemporary art scene, this new generation of artists bring an awareness of the international art world that’s informed by the Internet, and particularly by the ever-evolving forms of art that flow through the never-ending stories and feeds on Instagram and other social media sites. Works in the show mine memories and dreams, explore spiritualism and architectural space, investigate issues of identity and the roles they play in society and draw attention to visual spectacles and sensations of light. Working both figuratively and abstractly or blurring the boundaries between the two artistic approaches, these artists are creating compelling works, which are convincingly adding to the ever-changing contemporary art dialogue.
