At this moment, how many people in the world are holding a Gucci handbag? How many people are wearing Nike sneakers? We are surrounded by globalization and pop culture. A lot of people still associate ink painting art with Jieziyuan Huapu (catalog of Chinese painting), making ink painting art alien from modern society. A lot of ink painting artists do not make their efforts alone in remote mountains. Instead, they attempt to use ink painting as a unique oriental art material to interpret the ever-changing cultural ambiance, to make ink painting art closer to contemporary lives. Focusing on pop culture, they use art forms such as ink painting, literature, design, video and mixed media on paper to explore this cultural context and to express their caring for humanities.
