The 15 young artists participating in this exhibition share a common property ?the one-child generation of New China. It is probably because of such a unique identity that their behaviors, points of view, and life experiences are distinct from the older generations of Chinese and foreigners of their age. They are a generation of independent mind and vigorous originality. They pay more attention to their own experiences and tend to understand reality and issues of modern society from their personal perspectives. Their works are mostly devoted to their true feelings, and reflect their desires and aspirations as well. They are full of enthusiasm and energy, and compared to the older generation, they are more straightforward and particularly dedicated to artistic pursuit. Their potential and value deserve our attention and study.

Special thanks to artist Wang Yigang for his great support to this exhibition.
