Exhibition Preface

Among the new generation of Chinese artists, Cai Jie, Liu Xiangdong, Xue Guangchen and Zhou Meiyuan are the noticeable four that specialized at Photo-realism painting method. They tend to paint intensively and meticulously on their canvas, and invite audiences to enjoy the banquet of a great amount of details. In their paintings, the personal spirit is hiding behind the subjective and calm depicting. Differ from the American Photo-Realism Movement that appeared during late 60s and 70s, the art of the mentioned four artists show more compromise and integration instead of rebellion. This I believe results from a Chinese philosophical tradition. In this exhibition, we will try to explore a clue of“Poetic quality” in their works. Through it, we wish to help deepening the discussion on their works.
