Coming from observation, experience, and reflection of the most relevant reality of contemporary China—urbanization and its disparate effects—Chen’s and Weng’s works invite conversation and contemplation upon a changing China and how people interact with the living environment. Examined together, their works depart from the majority of contemporary Chinese art circulating in the West since the 1990s that centers on stereotypical political icons or recognizable traditional images. Individually, Chen and Weng depict unprecedented transformations of China from distinctive perspectives and each artist creates epic images in expressing their perceptions of urbanization in progress.
