Li Xinjian
Li Xinjian was born in 1954 in Chongqing, China. He studied at both the Sichuan Academy of Fine Art and École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Currently lives and works in Beijing. Looking back at Li Xinjian’s 40 years of output, one can observe that only he values his personal style and its exchange with the language of contemporary art, but also the inner cultural conscience and contemporary significance of his art. Li Xinjian constantly reiterates his position of “Cultural Nomadism” through his works, from the perspectives of history, culture, and visual archeology, with the help of the interpretation and recoding of different images, using his personal artistic expression to present expanded horizons to the viewer. Just as the material world shapes society and water shapes mountains, humanity glistens with the gift of the Buddhist holy land, giving inspiration, teaching humanity appreciation, the appreciation between gods, between people, between gods and people, that mysterious truth that need not be spoken.
Li Xinjian's works are collected by many important institutions and foundations, such as Long Museum, Yuz Museum, Suzhou Art Museum, ChengduMOCA, New York Public Library, Changjiang Art & Culture Club.

Liang Ying
Liang Ying was born in Beijing, China in 1961, studied in the Department of Chinese Painting, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts from 1981 to 1982, and studied at the Art Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg in Germany from 1983 to 1993, and received an art scholarship from the Rotary Club of Hamburg and the North German State. In 1991 received a Master of Fine Arts.
As a pioneering female artist in Chinese contemporary art, Liang Ying was one of the earliest group of artists who studied in Germany in the 1980s. She is also one of the first established Chinese artists who forgo oil painting in order to focus on ink painting. Whether it is her early series “Diary Liang Ying”, which depicted modern women in urban settings, or her recent series “Immortals and Legends,” Liang Ying has always innovatively combined the compositional elements and contents of German Neo-Expressionism with the brushwork and subject matters of traditional Chinese Painting, transforming them into myriad phenomenal artworks.In these works, she merges concepts, narrative, and painterly expression in one entity. Like many Chinese artists in the 20th century, Liang Ying devotes herself to exploring the possibility of ink painting, hoping to prove to the world that ink painting is still a vital component of today’s contemporary art world.

Tu Xi
Tu Xi was born in 1982 in China, graduated from Renmin University of China School of Arts in 2006, and graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2009. Currently living and working in Beijing.
In Tu Xi's creations, lines, strokes, and color blocks, while possessing the beauty of form, also have a sense of being swarmed by information, eroded by data, and transformed by technology, people/art have become the reality of the broken elements of the digital age, but at the same time, they have found a latent, holistic order in the pile of brokenness. At the same time, the plants and mountains presented by Tu Xi exist as “natural symbols” or “landscape symbols”. In his expression, these elements are no longer purely products of the natural environment, but become a kind of pattern and cultural symbol. When these natural elements are placed in his creations, and deconstructed and constructed by Tu Xi in different ways, a humanistic reflection based on “technology” is formed. It includes man and nature, man and technology, nature and artifacts, illusion and reality, and so on.

Yang Liming
Yang Liming was born in 1975 in Sichuan, China. He graduated from the Art College of Sichuan Normal University in 1999 with bachelor degree on oil painting. Currently lives and works in Beijing
Yang Liming’s paintings are abstract, in the same time having a stable, firming ground structure. Nevertheless, by closer perception there are many different aspects, parts that show reflection, sigh and some light moments of joy. Here is maybe the point to connect with Franz Schubert’s music with its delicate points like open wounds, melancholic meditations of questions without answers given. Yang Liming’s paintings take the viewers into their deep universe, in case the viewer permits to be carried away. Just as well as in Schubert’s music are questions rising, involving the observer into their matter. What is melancholia in Schubert’s music stays as a mystery in Yang Liming’s paintings.

Zhang Jian
Early in his career Zhang Jian was inspired by the Impressionists particularly Édouard Manet and the Russian Valentin Serov. Zhang Jian became fascinated with representations of sunlight and outdoor themes, striving to demonstrate introspective, calm and peaceful moments in everyday life. In the early 2000s Zhang Jian began to use photography as a starting point for his paintings and employed techniques of ‘flatness’ and blurred figuration in his work - evocative of the work of Gerhard Richter - that resulted in his Houhai, Chang’an Avenue and Tiananmen series. Public spaces, linked with social history and each carrying special symbolic meaning, became the focus for many of his works. In recent years, his paintings have become more subjective and free - more expressionistic - creating a confusion of reality, dream and abstraction.
