EXHIBITION SYNOPSIS
Unusual Impression - Chinese Oil Painting Exhibition of Post-generation 2008by Yang Weimin
It is among the Lunar Solar Terms Grain Fills. I suddenly remember a farming proverb, saying that “Grain Fills, Grain Fills, kernel will full gradually.” The 10 participating artists like the growing up wheat, who are keeping growth and cumulating their strength. They will become one of un-ignored power in Chinese contemporary art in future.
Most of them are born in Cultural Revolution. In their growth process, they have experienced from the revolutionary cultural fashion of Cultural Revolution in the late 1970s, the idealism and 85 trendy in the 1980s, to the consumer era of the 1990s. It can be said that they experienced and are experiencing the post-Cultural Revolution era. Because of this unique growth experience, their works are never lack of meaning and ideology. For the people born in the 1980s, the "Cultural Revolution complex" may have gradually become history, but for the people born in Culture Revolution, there are countless ties between them. Their works are often revealed the humanistic concern for the society, the sentiment for the lives, pursuing the quiet of the depth of the soul, worship for the arts, searching of the life and drawing and so on.
Unusual Impression-Chinese Post-generation oil painting exhibition is a theme exhibition that I continued to plan these years. The Post-generation I chosen are born later than New-generation, whose pursuits are totally different from 70’s, 80’s or Cartoon generation. They are a group of oil painter with academic background, which has a strong creative desire and strengths and pays more attention on originality, painting techniques and sociality. The variety experiences and traces on their canvas often move me. Every bright brushwork always can illuminate me and every image can move me and bring me some surprises and gnosis. I believe after Grain Fills and having further care and cumulating, the gold harvest will come soon.
