Max Huckle (born in 1987, graduated from the State Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, Germany) creates works led by an instinctive and intuitive perception, breaking the contemporary cognition of art which is highly confined to academia, pursuing freedom with contemporary techniques. He has always been pursuing a line that would stop the world. The way he paints is the same as what people sees in his paintings, rapid and energetic, with the momentum of an avalanche on the whole. However, there is always such a line, a pen or a gesture in between that makes time stop all of a sudden.

Li Yiwen, Wave Motion, Acrylic on canvas, 150×170cm, 2018

Li Yiwen (born in 1982, graduated from the Mural Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts) whose pursuit of aesthetic taste is closely related with his personal artistic experience. He casts his keen perception of art on his reading interest in art theory, engraving, physics and philosophy, yet he has the characteristics of the new generation of Chinese artists in the Internet era. Li Yiwen’s creation in recent years focuses on presenting “time” through painting. He extracted it as “the third kind of time”, which is the time about perception, in which memory, intuition, experience and feeling interinfiltrated and coagulated in his paintings.

Liu Zhengyong (born in 1980, graduated from Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts) whose paintings use the body as a clue to explore the human memory and history from an individual perspective.

- Dai Yun
Dai Yun, Sofa, Red Brick, Cement, Concrete Iron, 70 x 70 x 75 cm, 2016
Meanwhile, in the public art unit “WONDER” in this year’s Beijing Contemporary, the work “Sofa” created by Leo Gallery artist Dai Yun is a special artistic interpretation of public art. Through removing the externalized visual elements and thus making the essential structure of the building exposed before people, the artist makes it the main body of the sculpture. With the strong contrast of the bony material and the physical beauty it creates, the work brings out the fantastic synaesthesia and artistic language.
