CHINA NOW
Define the Indefinable - Contemporary Art Selling Exhibition by Young Chinese Artists

​"Today, to be a Chinese contemporary artist, one does not need to be a spokesperson for any political ideology. The unprecedented diversity is the nature of YCA." —--Lang Xiao and Lin Shuchuan

ARTouch Conulting is proud to launch China Now Exhibition at Gallery@OXO at London Southbank from May 11th to May 22nd, 2016. Curated by Lin Shuchun (b.1986) from The Art Museum of Nanjing University of the Arts, China NOW Exhibition invites 10 leading YCA's to exhibit their work in London for the first time. Ranging from painting to installation and digital art, artists Chen Chenchen, DoubleFly Art Centre, Feng Zhengquan, Han Jianyu, Huang Yishan, Shan Dingkai, Wu Didi, Wang Yuyang, Wu Jian’an and Zhang Quan, represent the indefinable and diversity of YCAs.  CLUB1985 - an international and invitation-only network for collectors and patrons who are willing to foster a greater interest and understanding of Contemporary Chinese Art, will be launched during China NOW exhibition.

​YCA [wai’ si:’ ei]
 
1. Born after 1975, as the only child of the family. Due to China's "one-child policy" (imposed in 1978-2015), most YCAs are the only and last generation of single-child Chinese families.
2. Graduated from China's art academies with solid art techniques
3.The generation of social media (if not the western Facebook or Twitter, but Chinese WeChat and Weibo)
4. Ambitious and self-confident
5. Eager to stay in tune with the western art market and power dynamics in the global art world
6. Having witnessed the take-off of contemporary Chinese art market,with different insights on “success” from Chinese artists of previous generations
7. Rooted in the high-powered market economy and everyday competition of urban life
8. Domestic migrants - pursuing careers in China’s Tier-1 mega-cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou
9. Non-ideological: No needs or willingness to be a spokesperson for any political ideology, avoiding self-labeling
10. Rising in tandem with the same-age Chinese collectors and patrons and brand-new museums
