The artist’s glass figures are the product of a globalized and information era, both contemporary and international. The glass figures are both a quest for and doubts about humanity.

Wang Chuan

Born in 1953, Wang Chuan graduated from Chinese Brush Painting Department of the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. As one of important artists in the Chinese contemporary art field, his art trajectory has embodied the aesthetic pursuit of the younger generation of artists at his time. Over the past three decades, the artist experienced the movement from abstract expressionism and minimalism, won his reputation by realism and gained prominence by ink point concept, and wandered between ink wash abstractionism and oil paint. Wang Chuan’s abstract works, featuring passionate lines, showcase the artist’s romance, in which recklessness and depression grow and decline, contribute to and complement each other. Wang Chuan is always in the relentless torrent of thinking. The non-stop critical thinking and ultimate pursuit of metaphysics imbue his art with a sense of solidity and strength.

Yang Xun’s works focus on re-examining old photos and the exposure point in the picture offers a new way of appreciation.

杨勋

During his travels, Shi Jianmin found the elegant and solid Taihu Rock in the gardens, inspired by which he created a series of representative works themed on “table and chairs”. In these artworks, Shi Jianmin downplays the original concept of tables and chairs and expands their feature as “artworks”. Abstract and elegant forms resembling Taihu rocks in gardens of Southern China, graceful and firm stainless steel and exquisite details all constitute his own artistic style. His works contain traditional aesthetic values as well as reflections on the current life.

师建民

1962年生于陕西省西安市，1986毕业于中央工艺美术学院，现居北京。在游历各地的过程中，师建民发现了园林中优雅而坚毅的太湖石，被这石头打动了的艺术家创作出一系列综合“桌椅”概念的代表作品。在这些以“桌椅”为造型的艺术作品中，师建民淡化着“桌椅”的本色概念，而延伸着“作品”的意味。抽象化的、风雅的江南园林中太湖石的造型，感觉飘逸而又坚硬的不锈钢材质，精致的细节，构成了艺术家自己的艺术存在形式。他的作品中有传统审美的意趣，亦包含着对当今生活的反思。

Hong Hao

Hong Hao, born in Beijing in 1965, graduated from the Print-making Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 1989. As an artist, he came to realize the deepening and extension of individual thinking through development of his works. He upholds that changes cannot change the form and quality of lives, but cultivates a sense of dedication that helps him find the beauty of details in this process. He is a witty wise man in ruthless analyze of the society, history and arts, a calm observer of the consumption desires and authority consciousness in modern society, a lurker who adds up, transform, and sort historical and cultural symbols to reflect upon these problems and send warnings, and a developer of new visual norms.

洪浩

1965年生于北京，1989年毕业于中央美术学院版画系。作为艺术家的洪浩，逐渐地通过作品的进展，深化和延伸着自我的思考，在洪浩的价值标准中，变化并不能改变生命的形态和质量，而修炼一种专注力，却可以在专注的过程中，发现细节之美，他将机智的幽默展现在对社会、历史和艺术的无情剖析上，以冷静的观察透视着当下社会的消费欲望和权威意识，成为使用历史文化符号直观叠加、转换、排序来进行反思和警示的潜伏者，以及新的视觉秩序的构建者。

Shen Hao

Shen Hao, born in Inner Mongolia in 1981, got admitted to the Print-making Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2001. It is there that he got exposed to experimental print-making experiences and various kinds of materials, opening his eyes to a new level of artistic visions. He received professional training there, but deep down, he is still a young man true to himself. In addition to this complete and standard training experience, he is very creative in applying tools other than paintbrushes in his “real” works. Drawknife, a supporting tool at most in traditional painting practice, is given a new role by Shen Hao. According to him, “I use drawknives as brushes, trying my best to not only imitate the fineness in details, but also keep the crudeness and roughness”. He does not just “imitate”, but sets to achieve a certain kind of “reform”, realizing limitlessness without brushes. To “paint the objects” is a timeless theme of his works. It all started with a belief of his that “the unprotected truth lies in the most trivial things”. Anything ordinary in real life, even the ruins of buildings, is considered a proper subject in his works. After original artistic reproduction and dedicated work, his works either tell stories of the past, or depicts a current social problem.

沈昊

1981年生于内蒙，2001年沈昊进入央美版画系，版画创作的实验性和接触媒材的宽泛性让他获得了许多的新知，也让艺术家的创作视野进一步打开。接受学院派科班教育的沈昊，本质上具有着放任不羁的品格，除了完整而系统的版画训练之外，沈昊在画布上运用画笔以外的工具进行着“真正”的绘画性创作。刮刀，在经典性的油画创作中充其量只是一种辅助性的工具，沈昊说，“我用刮刀去模仿笔，竭尽全力地细腻，也竭尽全力地粗犷”，事实是“模仿”并不是沈昊的真实意图，艺术家想要做的是某种的“颠覆”，即破除“画笔”的陈词滥调之后的自由自在。“为物画像”是沈昊作品中始终不变的命题，这一命题的初衷是源于沈昊认为“最卑微的事物之中潜藏着最无防备的真实”。现实中的普通事物，抑或断壁残垣的废墟建筑，经过他独具匠心的经营和长时间的锤炼，都能成为他笔下的叙述主体，为观者讲述一段逝去的历史，或是对当下社会现象的一种解读。

He leaves out the blanks in Chinese traditional paintings in his all-black style that concentrates the beauty by using dark colors.

Different from impressionists who are deeply influenced by the Western concepts, he is keen on the Chinese traditional culture. His works embodies the harmonious spirit of Chinese traditional culture as well as the elegance and beauty of creating realms.

Yang Tao was born in Ningxia in 1968. He grew up in Shandong Province. In the year of 1988, he graduated from the Shandong Light Industry Arts School. He adopted the stage photos of the “White Haired Lady”, a modern ballet from the Cultural Revolution age, and developed his series of oil painting works, The Prototype Movement, by putting the images in modern sports games. His works, in overwhelmingly cool colors rather than the “red and bright” style popular at that particular age, are faithful and authentic depictions of the history.

杨洮

1968年生于宁夏，山东人。1988年毕业于山东轻工美术学校。他将文革时期的革命现代舞剧《白毛女》剧照，与体育运动项目结合起来，构成了他的《样板运动》系列油画。黑白灰的单冷色调充斥着画面，使人剥离了所谓红光亮的色调，把历史还原到了本来的真实面目上。

Chen Changwei

Chen Changwei, born in Luoping of Yunnan Province in 1973, graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Yunnan Arts University in 2000. His sculptures, with a sense of humor and stylish features, utilize resources recognized by the traditional culture, and succeed in connecting traditional values and modern life.

陈长伟

1973年生于云南罗平，2000年毕业于云南艺术学院雕塑系。他创作的雕塑兼有幽默和时尚的特点，糅进了传统文化和民族认同的资源，在传统价值和当代生活之间找到了一个有趣的连接点。

Li Rui

Li Rui, born in 1983, graduated from the School of Art and Design of the Yunnan University. He is a young artist from Southwestern China. He now lives in the city of Kunming of Yunnan Province. Most of his works feature landscapes with a strong local ethnic influence, which is also an artistic representation of his childhood memories. A contrast of his memory from childhood against modern city life imposes an individual need on him to let go of the pressure of living in a city and transform his longings onto his paintings.

李瑞

1983年出生，云南大学艺术与设计学院毕业。西南年轻艺术家。现生活、工作于昆明。他的作品以具有民族风情的风景画为主，这些看似既真实又朦胧的景象都是李瑞儿时记忆的再现。孩童时代的乡村回忆与此时此刻的城市经历相互对照，使李瑞产生一种需要，将现在所处环境带来的无形压力进行转换，把内心的向往用另外一种话语组织，再现于画面之中。

Wu Yongping

Wu Yongping, born in Longquan of Zhejiang Province, graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA). He now lives in Beijing and is a master’s supervisor at CAFA. Being a artist in material, he sets to express his artistic pursuits via materials. Researching on materials is one of his most important pursuits now.

吴永平

1967年生于浙江省龙泉市，毕业于中央美术学院，中央美术学院硕士研究生导师，现工作居住北京。他的创作总是用材料语汇去表达，他是材料专家材料艺术家，研究材料是他现在重要的工作。

Peng Bo

Peng Bo was born in Hechuan, Chongqing, in 1982. He graduated from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2006. In his works, he deliberately adopts simple techniques and focuses on expression of personal awareness. He sets to break our conventional ways of thinking by heterogeneous representations of daily objects in a cellular-like language. By repetition and magnification of his personal life experience straight away, he challenges the established representation system, brings it down and reconstructs it. It is his unique way to observe the world, and an artistic way of expression that he most excels in.

彭博

1982年生于重庆合川，2006年毕业于四川美术学院。彭博常常在作品中刻意于表现方式的单纯和自我意识的强调，从他用细胞一样的语言将日常物体进行异质化的表现，试图打破我们惯有的观看和思考方式，毫不犹豫地放大和重复自己的生活体悟，对原有的表征系统发出挑战，并且大刀阔斧地对其进行分解和重组。这是他最为独特的观察世界的方式，是其最擅长的艺术表现手段。

Ju Ting

Ju Ting, born in Weifang of Shandong Province in 1983, received her bachelor’s degree from the Print-making Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007, and master’s degree from the same department in 2013. She now lives in Beijing. She carves on multiple thick layers of colors, giving her works a combined visual effect of both carvings and paintings. A three-dimensional space is therefore created on a two-dimensional surface. Her works do not lack the passion of paintings, but reveal the textures and spatial effects. While conveying a strong sense of craftsmanship, these works have primitive beauty of carvings upon a closer scrutiny, and yet make great impressionist paintings from a distance.

鞠婷

1983年生于山东潍坊，2007年毕业于中央美术学院版画系，获学士学位。2013年毕业于中央美术学院版画系，获硕士学位。现工作、生活于北京。她的作品在由多层颜色叠加而成的材质上通过雕刻而完成，其作品的独特风格融合了雕刻与绘画的双重视觉感受。在二维平面中塑造出微妙的三维立体空间。既未丢失架上绘画的激情，又能够体验内部的空间和塑造。画面传达出强烈的技术性和手工制作感，作品近看有粗犷的原始美感，远看则是一幅优雅的抽象绘画。

Xu Maomao

Xu Maomao, born in Urumchi, Xinjiang in 1979, graduated from the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts in 2002. She now lives in Beijing. In her paintings, zebras, strawberries, moths, livers, frogs, Buddism goddess Guanyin, seemingly bizarre but simple images are frequently seen as in a colorful wonderland in fairy-tales. She wants to paint beautiful things, but sometimes cannot find a way out of the pressure of living in modern world, leaving her works a subtle sense of sorrow under the disguise of cartoon images.

徐毛毛

1979年生于新疆乌鲁木齐，2002年毕业于西安美术学院，现工作生活于北京。徐毛毛的作品中时常出现斑马、草莓、飞蛾、肝、青蛙、观音，这些奇特怪诞而又朴实平凡的元素，构筑出童话般色彩绚烂的奇幻世界。她想尽量表达美好的事物，但是人生活在现代社会中，压力大、不轻松，她的画也在卡通外壳下包裹着淡淡的忧愁和感伤。

Xu Xiaoguo

Born in Xi'an, Shaanxi in 1977, Xu Xiaoguo graduated from Oil Painting Department of the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts in 2000, and now works and lives in Beijing. His art, covering paintings, pictures, photography and so forth, reflects on the transformation of "standard" by mixing the humanities and philosophy.

徐小国

Zhu Bing

Born in Dangyang, Hubei in 1964, Zhu Bing now works and lives in Beijing. By using the technique of "empathy", she ingeniously integrates certain subtle traits of flowers with unique features of females, showcasing the acute observation and sensibility of the artist as well as females' unique experience of nature, which leaves ample room for audiences to imagine.

朱冰

1964年生于湖北当阳，现生活、工作于北京。她运用移情的手法，把花的某些微妙的特征与女性的独特性征巧妙融合在一起，表现艺术家敏锐的观察力和感受力，表现女性独有的对自然的体验和感悟，给观者更多想像的空间。
