China Avant-Garde

China Avant-Garde refers to a movement in contemporary Chinese art and culture that emerged in the late 20th century, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s. It encompasses a variety of artistic expressions, including painting, performance, and installation art, often challenging traditional norms and conventions. This movement reflects themes of individualism, political critique, and social change, often in response to China's rapid modernization and global integration. Artists in this movement aim to push boundaries and provoke thought, making their work both innovative and reflective of the complexities of contemporary Chinese society.
