Shen JingDong Hero Series 90, 2007 Oil on canvas 78 3/4 x 78 3/4 inches Collection of the Artist
This exhibition features the work of 12 Chinese artists whose works merge Eastern and Western visual languages. Many of these artists were born or came of age during the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and thus represent a generation who experienced enormous change in Chinese culture. Caught between the dense weight of history and tradition, this generation is the first in many years to experience widespread connection to the West. As a result they have reinterpreted aesthetic visual traditions according to their perceptions and knowledge of European and American visual arts. While in some works the reference to Western culture seems adoring, especially to the visual culture lexicon, in other works it appears to parody the West, its cultural symbols and values. Each participating artist presents a multifaceted view of contemporary China as it struggles to define itself in the post-cultural revolution and its new place on the world stage.
