A dual exhibition involving artists Yan Cong & Wen Ling.
Comics have existed as a type of drawing for a long time. Many an artist, past and present, at home and abroad, have been closely involved with this art form in their painting. In today's China, however, comics are having a rather tense if not hostile relationship with paintings, especially those labeled as the "high art". This situation has something to do with the overall explosion of "indie painting" in China over the past several years. What kind of comics would become a positive element in the transformation of contemporary painting? How would an artist get inspired by comics during the process? Yan Cong and Wen Ling will answer these questions in regard to the subject - "From Comics to Paintings" - with their latest canvases of the past three years.
