This exhibition presents the work scene of three young female artists from innovative comprehensive materials, traditional ink painting, hardened acrylic and electronic devices.
In recent years, the rising group of female artists has gradually clarified its value orientation, from the perspective of art history, women have long been involved in creative activities, but limited by traditional concepts and social division of labor, they can not be like most well-known male artists to "leave their name in history", many painters, sculptors, architects have been quietly cultivating, insisting on their love and pursuit of art. Until modern and even contemporary times, people's concepts and understandings have gradually changed, and female artists have begun to receive different attention and research in the eyes of their peers and the public.

The three young female artists nominated this time, Ye Fan, Wang Ziling and Mo Zhi, all have rich experience in studying, living and participating in contemporary art at home and abroad, and they have a dialogue with tradition in artistic creation through contemporary experiments of creation and innovation, understanding the changing and developing world from a young perspective, and constantly exploring the unknown.
Ye Fan graduated from the Institute of Fine Arts of The Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts in 2014 and the Ph.D. of the Fine Arts Department of Taiwan Normal University in 2021. Her works use rice paper as a medium, using the hierarchical relationship between ink, black, white and gray to construct rich and subtle abstract visual concepts.
Ye Fan's works use a flat painting language, countless delicate "ink lines" superimposed and stacked, the subtle treatment of the spatial wrinkle layer and the "light" presented by the blank space, each square composed of lines cut and combined has its own narrative content, constructing a multi-dimensional spatial structure, and also constructing its inner mysterious and flowing urban voice.

Wang Ziling was born in 1988 in Hunan. From 2010 to 2011, he studied at the University of the Arts London and the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design with a master's degree, and from 2006 to 2010, he studied in the Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, where he obtained a bachelor's degree, and now works and lives in London, UK. She tries to create a hardened acrylic material that breaks away from the backplate in her creation, explores the intersection between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, and challenges the concept of two-dimensional painting space.
Wang Ziling created a hardened acrylic material that breaks away from the backplate, trying to create a spatial form in which the pigment is suspended in the frame without a canvas, and the spatial form of the painting is restructured through the mutual pulling and draping of the pigments, strengthening the virtual space part of the visual experience, and exploring the possibility between the two-dimensional image and the three-dimensional image.

Mo Zhi, received a master's degree in painting from the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University in 2013, and is currently studying for a doctorate at the School of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University. His works have participated in the 11th, 12th and 13th National Fine Arts Exhibitions, the 4th, 5th and 6th National Youth Art Exhibitions, and the 9th and 10th "From Lausanne to Beijing" Fiber Art Biennale. Her work uses a combination of painting, installation, embroidery and electronic devices to ironically decompose the pixels and colors of images.
Mo Zhi's creative inspiration comes from a moment in life, and her "magical" artistic creation form is her absorption and innovation of classics and traditions. By constantly experimenting with various new materials and the collision between them, she tries to capture the inspiration under the impact of the electronic information age, enhance the dimension of matter and time, and make the picture present different levels of texture.
