Any kind of local art language is the regeneration of western modern art discourse and local discourse - not simply the addition result, but the fusion after integration. The achievements of the development of Chinese modern and contemporary art are first reflected in the rise of modern art education. If there is no academy established in the “art revolution” to promote and spread western painting in China, it is difficult to imagine what contemporary art looks like in China. Those 8 artists are exactly at this special position, which not only continues the spread of modern aesthetic education in academies, but also breaks through the process of exploring contemporary art in the local context.

The exhibition, a total of 38 pieces of 23 artists on display, includes several generations of art masters of fine paintings, both Mr. Chu, Wen Li Peng, such as Chen junde old top artists and also have HongLing, xuhui MAO, Wang Yigang, wang xiangming, back, Zhang Jian middle generation such as well-known artists, and li chao, Zhao Bo, Xun Gui Pin new generation potential artists, etc.

Looking back at the art scene in China, Wang Yigang stands out as one of the most representative artists who use abstract forms and artistic language for their creative style. Wang began his creative career of three decades with Western Cubism. After experimenting with the juxtaposition of figurative and pop art images, he slowly turned his focus to abstract expressions for the creation of dialogues in traditional Chinese landscapes. During each stage in his career, Wang continued to seek breakthroughs, while challenging himself to express diversity and innovation within his paintings.

Each area or urban setting contains its own life, lineage, and memories that are inherently complex, overlapping, fragmented, chaotic, and even contradictory. This is because such memories originate from the desires, actions, pursuits, and creations of many individuals. When an area or city is uniformly reorganized through urban planning, then their memories are erased and all creativity is destroyed. What remains in culture is a barren desert. Therefore, this exhibition is not so much an attempt to exhibit realistic images of a “barren” but to enact a “pruning” of realistic representations. Perhaps, the featured artworks present a kind of “reality” found in Northeast contemporary art, or just one aspect of “reality”.
