Cai Jin
Cai Jin was born in Tunxi, Anhui， China in 1965. In 1986, she graduated from the fine arts department, Anhui Normal University, Wuhu, China. In 1991, she graduated from the oil painting department, Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, China. She has been teaching at the Tianjin Fine Arts Institute, Tianjin, China since 1991. Cai Jin's art works is in fact the reflection of herself. The artworks of Cai Jin are just like the “water traces on the wall”. She tries to capture the weirdness, and shows no interest in the colorful attractive reality. She devotes herself to the loneliness subject that makes her excited but calls no attention of others.

He Wenjue
He is currently the vice president of Hunan Oil Painting Society, a member of China Artists Association and a member of China Oil Painting Society.He Wenjue’s art is closely combined with the current era, and yet is filled with his personal characteristics, which makes people feel a volatile and vigorous attitude toward life. Like the deep bottom of the ocean, a strong sense of ambiguity and somewhat stretch and lightness beyond reality can be observed in his painting, which delivers a sense of unpredictable but controllable quiet space in a subtle way. His creation, with an attitude that art is close to mundane life, always leads us from a world we can see and recognize to a vast space that is hidden and unpredictable.

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.

He further presents and delineates the subtle and unobservable mental process, in which, reaching a highly abstract state. Liu Fengzhi faces the real world with a heart full of passion and humanistic care.

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.

Xu Hong
It is also at this juncture, that the work by Xu Hong connects to a modernist abstract painting tradition in the West. This might not be so surprising as it seems. A lot of Western artists in the past have looked towards Asia for inspiration and Zen Buddhism has been widely popular amongst modernist artists. Richard Tuttle comes to mind, or Raimer Jochims from Germany. What is important to understand, however is that Xu Hong´s work comes from experience not from looking at other art. It is the sincerity of his work that makes it so convincing.

Xu Hongxiang
Xu Hongxiang was born in 1984 in Changsha, Hunan, China. He graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007 with a bachelor´s degree, graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2011 with a master's degree, and now lives and works in Beijing.
Xu Hongxiang’s artistic practice often revolves around painting. Project-based painting series with narrative contents and oil paintings centered on landscapes are the two parallel creative approaches that punctuate his career. "Image", "body", and "the relationship between painting and reality" are the overarching themes he has been trying to explore in his multi-media painting projects throughout the years. The traits of his highly stylized painting, which included a signature saturated palette, are the fragments that reflect such themes.
Xu Hongxiang’s solo exhibitions includes: "Xu Hongxiang: Wander" (Aurora Museum, Shanghai, 2024), "Xu Hongxiang: Ancient Posts" (Xie Zilong Photography Museum, Changsha, 2023), "Xu Hongxiang: Displaced Images" (Triumph Gallery, Beijing, 2022), "Xu Hongxiang: An Exuberant View" (Hubei Museum of Art, Wuhan, 2021), "Xu Hongxiang: One Night While Hunting for Faeries" (Loft8 Galerie, Vienna, 2019), "Not Dark Yet - Xu Hongxiang Solo Exhibition" (Triumph Gallery, Beijing, 2018), "Xu Hongxiang Solo Exhibition" (SZ Art Center, Beijing, 2014). His solo project includes: "Cultivating in solitude - Xu Hongxiang's Residency Program in Australia" ( LalLal Art Museum, Melbourne, 2023), "Artists Residency Program: The JAEGER EXPERIEMENT" ( JINGHOPE Art Center, Sanya, 2021), "Shuffle Parallel Vienna 2018" (Vienna, 2018), "Li Qiang" (Changsha, 2016), "In the Field" (Changsha, 2016) . Selected group exhibitions includes: "Web of Being: The Living Network" (Tang Contemporary Art, Singapore, 2025), "The season has not arrived" (Atmosphere Space, Nanjing, 2024), "DIALOGUE: Art Museum Tour by Art Gallery Association Beijing" (Art Museum of SCFAI, Chongqing, 2024), "Symphony of Coexistence - Chinese and Southeast Asian Art Invitational Exhibition" (Art Museum of SCFAI, Chongqing, 2024), "Follow the Rabbit - Talking stock of a collection and its reception through contemporary Chinese art" (Museum Liaunig, Austria, 2023).

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.

Zhang Zhijian
As Zhang Zhijian's painting has become increasingly difficult to define, the pursuit of original language and personal style should be the basic consciousness of an artist. In recent years, his work has been to absorb nourishment from traditional art, dissolve images, liberate language, and return my paintings to a two-dimensional plane. Starting from language, media, etc., he explores new possibilities of painting in the process of constant trial and error. The way of "covering" and "formatting" in the work has nothing to do with form or abstraction. It just wants to return to the original state of painting-letting painting be just painting.

In 2001, Wu Daxin moved to United States, studied video art technology in the City University in New York, and graduated in 2007. Currently living and working in New York and Beijing.
In Wu’s work, Eastern and Western cultural resources were grasped and skillfully applied, which turned out to be an interesting visual presentation through transplant and juxtaposition, and quietly penetratesand melts into each other in the process of superposition. The splicing of symbols in different cultures not only reflects the reality, but a way of discourse in Wu’s work. It directly corresponds and measures the changes of reality, which posing a vivid, strange and confounding image of contemporary China.
