The process of painting itself is an eternal process of removing the old from the new: the expression of individuality dominated by the artist's own unique feelings, tendencies and choices; not following the sequential direction of the so-called conceptual genres and the old and new misconceptions; transcending the purely visual way of observation, and focusing on the improvisation and directness of the painting process, the simplicity of the use of color, the sense of looseness, the unfamiliar, unconventional, non-descriptive painting propositions and creative innovations.
The exhibition focuses on the issues of "Independence and Self-Awareness in Painting" and "Interrelationship between Space, Painting and Installation”.The curatorial aim of the group exhibition is to explore new perspectives and methods of mindfulness, in order to update the overall judgment and value orientation towards the noisy and disturbing external world.

The higher stages of installation art almost always contain infinite meanings in their simplicity, and strive to recover the vitality of the simple sensual nature that is being lost.
Existance and non-existance lies upon each other, things that are chiaroscuro are often subtle.As quiet and natural as the water flow, the style of the appearance is pure and refined, complementing both the content and the realm, as well as the spirit and the aesthetics. As Deleuze said, "Time is the prolongation of consciousness", we expect that the explorations of the twelve participating artists in this group exhibition, including Yu Youhan, Kishio Suga, He SaiPang, Feng Lianghong, Huang Yuanqing, Zhang Enli, Tu Hongtao, and Liao Guohe, will lead to intriguing cont
