Chasing Flames
17 Sep, 2009 - 15 Nov, 2009
Eli Klein Fine Art is pleased to present Chasing Flames, an exhibition that brings together the work of fifteen of China鈥檚 most renowned avant garde artists.
The title of the exhibition refers to the booming Contemporary Chinese Art market, which has seen unprecedented growth in recent years and has blazed a trail for contemporary Asian art throughout the world.The works of these artists span the three-decade history of Chinese contemporary art and reflect the shifts in narrative from the critical art of the鈥�85 New Wave post-Cultural Revolution, to the more sarcastic works of Cynical Realism and Political Pop post-Tiananmen, to the increasingly self-reflective pieces that characterize more recent years as artists respond to profound socio-economic changes, consumerism and globalization, while attempting to define their individuality in a rapidly-changing reality.
