It is always intriguing to see the young generation’s views of art, their imagination, and where they draw their inspirations. These four artists share much in common, yet their works are distinctly different. They are all emerging women artists who freshly graduated from renowned art schools worldwide, including Emily Carr University of Art and Design, the School of The Art Institute of Chicago, Rhode Island School of Design, and Central Saint Martins College of Art. With roots in Chinese culture, they have been exposed to a diverse art world and formed their unique understandings of their art and the world. However, the subjects of their art vary. They tackle themes like dreams, identity, confusion, imagination, and spirituality through art.

Women artists have been underrepresented throughout art history. As the young generation of artists enters the art market, the growing number of women artists are quite visible. As Women’s History Month is coming up, it is important to highlight art by women and recognize and emphasize their contribution to the historical and contemporary art world. During the exhibition, on March 4th at 2 pm, we will collaborate with Richmond Women’s Resource Centre (https://richmondwomenscentre.org/) to organize an on-site event celebrating women and women artists.
