A New Mark in Chinese Print Art-Traversing the Labyrinth of the Contemporary Spirit, an academic exhibition surveying the innovation of Chinese contemporary printmaking takes place in OCT Art & Design, a Museum at the fore front of contemporary visual culture in Shenzhen until May 13th, 2009. More than one hundred new works by artists from China’s leading fine arts academies are on show. Born in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, these artists are casting off the restraints of conventional printmaking language as they examine contemporary issues. The exhibition is co-organized by Amelie Gallery, Beijing.
A New Mark exhibition uses the labyrinth to mirror the complex spiritual challenges faced by sharp young intellectuals in the midst of the China’s social transformation. Diverse and experimental, the works all tie together to weave the spiritual journey of life from childhood, through adolescence, and into adulthood. Through this labyrinth odyssey of theirs runs a microscopic narrative that brings together contemporary sociology and the subconscious. Chinese printmaking, with the ancient technique of woodcut at its core, is rife with oriental wisdom; New Mark exhibitionreflects the fresh rediscovery of aesthetics and conceptual power within the Chinese culture, which is now inspiring more Chinese artists.
