Art Nouveau today in China in the Post-Financial Crisis Era     

After experiencing the pain and nirvana of Chinese contemporary art after the 2008 financial crisis, a new art revolution is quietly rising. Artists began to intervene in contemporary life with a more diversified attitude, using their sensitivity to interact with the new social life. Creative forms began to intersect with various media, bringing new artistic forms and ways of expression. While concentrating on displaying the variance and diversity of artworks, contemporary Chinese art starting to get rid of the western past definition and inertia recognition of the fixed style of itself gradually, the discussion on this basis is very meaningful for today.

Experimental Zone —— A Discussion on Art

This exhibition is by no means a review of the past of art. It should be an integration of these sensitive artists' views on the cultural effects of China, an independent reflection of contemporary Chinese art, and an art experiment that promotes more public participation. Thus, Chinese contemporary art, derived from the Western, will gradually derive its own humanistic characteristics.

OTHERNESS——International Contemporary Art in progress

Ye Lan believes that the root cause of social problems, such as conflicts, wars and tragedies, lies in the mutual rejection of "otherness", such as religious beliefs, race and sexual orientation. However, it is among these "otherness" that people can also find thousands of different ways to make the world a better place. As I said before, the beauty of colors will save our generation from the gray world.
