Fabbrica del Vapore, Milan
The exhibition, which will be held from 24 June 2023 until 08 October 2023, is divided into six sections in order to retrace the evolutionary path of Chinese art.
It focuses on contemporary Chinese art. The works on display are by famous and sought-after masters such as Yin Kun or Xing Jun Qin, Ma Han, Xin Haizhou or Xu De Qi who will present unpublished works, designed specifically for this occasion.
The techniques used range from the more traditional ones to the more contemporary ones with the spectacularization of the exhibited works. Most of the works represent the new trend of Chinese Pop Art called “playful pop”, which expresses the happiness of living in a China marked by a moment of social and economic progress.
This trend is different from the Chinese pop art of the 80s characterized by an artistic movement called “cynical” that criticized the political class of the time and mocked the degeneration of the behaviors of a nascent consumer society.
The exhibition is curated by Vincenzo Sanfo, already involved in important exhibitions on Chinese art both in China and in the rest of the world and among the founders of the Beijing Biennale of which he was one of the curators until 2022.
