The terms "Rocking Horse" is coined by a British writer, DH Lawrence, born in 1885. This term appeared in one of his short stories: The Rocking-Horse Winner. The protagonist is a young boy, his family is seemingly wealthy, but the atmosphere is always strange. A haunting voice quietly rambling: We need more money. The poor boy had to sustain the family. So he went gamble and shake his little horse for hints to predict the outcome of horse races. The story ends with the little boy died due to mental illness.

Days before 2009,  the art market is like the well-off family, full of joy and good deals, the whole industry is filled with hopes. So most of the artists frantically waved their brushes, canvas splashed, everybody wants to be the biggest winner. Then the art market has finally collapsed in 2009.

After the burst of the dream, everybody snapped back to reality. People kept shaking their little horse and constantly experimenting with new ideas, process, and different expressions. But to those who struggled for innovations, for those young artists, rocking horse is not for the pursuit of victory, they shake the little horse to see the ground beyond what they can see.
 
Soka Art Center look forward to offer the audience, many art lovers, collectors and art of the original value of art. They hope that after the impact of the financial tsunami, art creation and art market may works to the end of the story: "But, poor devil, poor devil, he's best gone out of a life where he rides his rocking-horse to find a winner. "(that bad, on passing it along!). We wish, the unremitting efforts to advance young artists will not be paid in vain.
