Triumph Gallery is pleased to present “Summer Special Group Exhibition of Triumph Gallery - The Green Ray II” on August 5th, 2018 at Triumph Gallery. This exhibition presents works by six artists, including Xu Hong, Yang Liming, Pan Jian, Tu Xi, Lu Song, and Xu Hongxiang.
The green ray, in light of its rarity, has been conceived as a perfect prophecy through people’s imagination. The contemporary art scene has become a place where successful art practice is believed to be the result of one certain method aided by occasional good chance, while its essential meaning has been obliterated by external obscurity. With the rapid development of China's social economy, the environment of contemporary art is becoming increasingly commercial and complicated. There are much more possibilities in art expression and methods for artists in this society with free access to information, frequent cultural exchanges and diversified thinking on various issues. Being different from artists of last generation, who focus more on social environment, the common feature of these six participated artist is that they all value the reflection and expression of individual life experience. In their works, they apply very individual and unique artistic language, to create individual styles, and ideas. Artists present their emotions and life experience via looking within themselves and finding inspirations through introspection. This kind of insight into oneself embodies the most essential value of art，i.e. art returns to issues about human, and explores deep into the human nature.
Xu Hongxiang was born in Changsha, Hunan province in 1984. He graduated from the printmaking department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) with a bachelor´s degree in 2007, and received the master’s degree from the same department in 2011.
