Artists explore style with media and concepts

鈥淧ure Action,鈥 an exhibition running at BAC Art Center through the end of October, presents artworks created by six young artists using different media and concepts.

Artist Chen Shaoning focuses on abstract art and explores the relationship between colors and lines, while Huang Zhejun is more interested in applying industrial materials such as resin and acrylic in his 鈥渟pace painting.鈥

鈥淎rt creation is highly individual, which is expressed by personal perception and interpretation,鈥 said Wang Xia, curator of the exhibition. 鈥淎lthough the materials, the expression modes and the concepts vary, a complete process of when to start and end is nearly the same.鈥

In Wang鈥檚 eyes, the isolation in a studio for each artist can鈥檛 be seen by visitors.

鈥淏ut that鈥檚 price of choosing to be an artist, a pure action with no utilitarian calculation,鈥 she said.

Different from other exhibitions in town, BAC tries to provide a platform for the young artists to experiment in the possibilities in art, sometimes still in their infant stage.

For example, artist Li Wenguang transforms his previous learning of applied logic and calculus into pure geographic shapes in his tableau.

He later develops them into some fake symbols in a new series of 鈥淪cience Fiction Notes,鈥 which reveals his fancy and imagination for different subjects like the ecological environment.

Dates: Through October 10 (closed on Mondays), 10am-5pm

Venue: BAC Art Center

Address: 407 Pudian Rd
