This autumn Asia Art Center (Beijing) is proud to present “Adventures" – Group Exhibition of Emerging Young Artists of the AAC, comprising more than 20 exceptional canvases by Fang Yixiu, Deng Yu, Guo Wen and Jing Zhiyong. The exhibition opens on September 19 and closes on October 18.

The four artists were born in the late 70s and early 80s, and so belong to the generation which grew up in the post-market reform era in China. It is difficult to categorize their works, as they neither make an extreme social statement nor express a specific agenda. Furthermore, technique is no longer considered foremost. Their works are intended, instead, to chronicle the course of their maturation and to depict an existence full of uncertainties. Through their choice of colors and symbols they convey the emotional world and self-image of the members of the single-child generation. In each of these works the artists describe that small part of the world in which they have grown up in this new era. Their experiences, given free expression on canvas, are unique in themselves. In their process of growth, the artists of this generation have created their own unique style. And the story is not finished. Life keeps moving on, and Fang Yixiu, Deng Yu, Guo Wen and Jing Zhiyong will continue to tell us of the adventures of their generation.
