“These young artists’ artworks have opened my eyes and urged me to re-examine myself. It is a process that began conceptually, but ends in a very real and grounded visual experience. From my perspective, these works internalized an attitude and atmosphere of a journeyman, as well as poetic qualities that detach from the everyday life, so that at its core, one is reminded of the distance between attainment and reality. Art, as well as artists, can only have meaning when they maintain a distance from the frantically complex reality. In today’s China where contemporary art is getting increasingly frothy, this is of particular value.” —— Ning Jia, Sichuan Fine Arts Institute CAEA Museum Executive Director Huxi, Chongqing June, 2015
