TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER ONLINE EXHIBITION
TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER
ONLINE EXHIBITION Vol. 3
Art has never been absent from any significant moments.
Artists play an important role in humanity. Not only are we able to see the accumulation of history from the artists' creation, but also feel the humanistic care and emotional commonality from it. The audience can feel the inspiration of aesthetics and philosophy from the artworks, and the artworks also arouse people's sense of social responsibility and pursuit for a better life.
In recent years, some events with far-reaching impact have occurred around the world, such as the SARS virus that swept the world in 2003, the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, the Fukushima and Christchurch earthquakes in 2011, and especially the current COVID-19 since 2020, leading to great trauma throughout the world. Therefore, we hope to encourage artists from a variety of cultural backgrounds to create profound works of art to inspire the wider public to overcome current difficulties and fulfill their lives.

The Earth
Composite material
50cm 2021
The work uses comprehensive materials, gravel and sand mixed with acrylic paint, and uses the most simple and natural raw materials to give feedback to nature, the work hopes to remind people of their cherishment of life and the earth. The most imagery expression and the abstract concepts establish a rich connotation of environmental protection and sustainable development. It aims to return to the primitive and the original birth of women, not the birth of patriarchal industrial tools under capitalism and the movement, labor, and even the whole life produced by patriarchy.
The World
Acrylic on Canvas
30cm 2021
The work is based on abstraction. Although the traditional technique is used to create acrylic paints, the thick and heavy colors of acrylic form an overall chaos but also have an internal logical reorganization, that is, the idea of absolute freedom proposed by Sartre's existentialism, the freedom and chaos of the world, and the contradiction between the existence of women in social life and their self-identity. The work hopes to combine modern art expression techniques with philosophy, and interdisciplinary methods to study experimental painting.
