Shanghai - 30 years of contemporary art viewed through portraits
Print Edition
The exhibition “Portrait of the Times, 30 years of Chinese Contemporary Arts” is a retrospect of developments in the past three decades, and the vivid representation of Chinese art’s modernization and contemporary art’s Sinicization.
The exhibition, which runs until November, features 300 works by about 100 artists, such as He Duoling, Gu Wenda, Fang Lijun and Cai Guoqiang.
Since the end of the 1970s, Chinese art has experienced 30 years of development, trials and hardships. From the “85 New Wave” in the 1980s, international recognition in the 1990s, commercial success in the 2000s to today’s overall prosperity, Chinese art as a newly arising cultural form has been recognized generally by the domestic and the international, the private and the official. However, the exhibition also reflects that China and Chinese have experienced huge changes.
Portraits allow more viewers to recognize and appreciate contemporary art in a popular and easy way. Aesthetic education is the token of improvement of a nation’s civilization.
This exhibition is not a chronicle of contemporary Chinese portraits, but a presentation of thematic visual art especially made for the exhibition space in the Power Station of Art. The exhibition consists of five parts suited for the exhibition space.
