Catalogue Note:

Through the silent of the early 90's, China contemporary arts gradually formed a "New Painting" trend from the late 90's. This trend is contributed by artists who were born after the 60's and 70's, and the influence remains after the 80's, new communicate medium like games and internet more or less have effects on them. When comparing with the works of the artists from the 90's, they are more used to talk to themselves rather than to the society. These artists have similar background, and their works have showed their inequable personalities.

Yang Jing is one of them, she graduated from the Mural Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts, she once teamed up with other 11 students to held a "N12" exhibition, participated in the "Next Stop, Cartoon?" exhibition held by 798 Starry Night Gallery in Beijing, although Yang Jing is skilled, but she paint in a "cartoon" style that is regarded as a "not skillful" way to paint. She adapted Japanese dolls, female role in Chinese operas, and famine robots in her creation, she even used small crystals to weave a little doll, looks glamorous but gives people the creeps with its hollow eyes. Undoable, Yang's creations represent the rising trend of the new arts.
