Hailed by the media as a gallery that “creates the art brand,” Soka Art Center features the most complete collection of works by China’s first generation of oil painters, such as Li Tiefu, Lin Fengmian, Hsu Beilong, and Yan Wenliang. It also leads the Chinese art community in collecting important Asian contemporary artworks by artists, such as Cai Guoqiang, Hong Ling, Xu Bing, Yoshitomo Nara, and Yayoi Kusama.
By conducting considerable research of academic literature and showcasing works through exhibitions, Soka systematically organizes the art history of oil painting in China so that collectors can experience a different type of immersion in art.

With the arrival of spring, Soka Art Center is now promoting a collection of works by twenty-two artists in its exhibition, “The Warm Rivers of Spring,” which symbolizes the cycle of time as the four seasons come and go. Now, following the cold of winter, spring has come again. Furthermore, through these thirty-eight works, viewers can also get a glimpse into the past and future of Soka. Without a doubt, the year 2013 marks a new beginning. Soka is eager to work with everybody to “get rid of the old and bring in the new,” so that a whole new era of art can be experienced together.
