Features: Art is no longer a single noun but a verb. For artists, experience is important, and significant experiences bring an impact on their personal perceptions of daily and mundane life. In this book, you will see a common phenomenon: art is essentially the grasp of contemporary people's own feelings. In the rich, complex, and indescribable emotions within an artist's heart, you will see that changes in the times first come from psychological changes in people. Through their relentless efforts over the long term, they demonstrate an undeniable perseverance, which is the spirit of humanity. Art does not solve problems, but it can discover, raise, and even express them. In this sense, artists of every era are reflections of the spirit and way of life of their contemporaries.
The book Art, Life, and New Trends presents the creations of forty-one artists active in the field of contemporary Chinese art, as well as their experiences, journeys, and the joys and sorrows of their lives, through the form of interviews. There are few writers in China today who adopt such an original and sincere approach to interviewing. The interviewer, Liu Chun, faces each artist one by one, whether in the cold or the heat, the vast or the narrow. Each article not only has academic depth but, more importantly, firmly captures the characteristics and personalities of each artist. Every article brings to life a vivid individual.
