Exploring Contemporary Female Art at the Shanghai Oil Painting & Sculpture Institute

The new exhibition at the Shanghai Oil Painting & Sculpture Institute, themed 'The Unceasing Surge', serves as a poetic description of certain primal or instinctive states of female life, as well as an expectation for the path of female art. If modernism emphasized the materiality of art, contemporary art places greater emphasis on the medium of art. Contemporary female artists, with their delicate perception of materials, have expanded the new expressive space of contemporary art in the dimension of media. The essence of contemporaneity is reflected in the relationship between time and space, in the deep structure of aesthetics, and also in the transformation of values and expressive means. Those things we take for granted construct our perception and spirit, as well as our life and memory.
