SUN AND MOON
​
The cultural time difference between the West and China also carries a symbolic meaning. As the moon rises gently over this land, the sun on the opposite shore is just beginning to ascend. This time difference often allows for the simultaneous coexistence of day and night between the East and the West. Interestingly, in Chinese characters, the characters for "日" (day) and "月" (moon) com- bine to form "明" (bright/tomorrow), implying new tomorrows and new possibilities.
​
In this exhibition of artistic dialogue, Huang Contemporary has brought together works from young artists with distinct styles from both the East and the West. Half of these artworks come from young artists residing in Western coun- tries such as the UK, Italy, and Colombia, whilst the other half will be formed by young Chinese artists who have stood out in the exhibition open call. Through these works, the audience will be guided to deeply contemplate the balance be- tween commonalities and uniqueness amongst young contemporary artists from both Eastern and Western cultures, and discover how to create resonance amidst diverse backgrounds and per- spectives.
​
This exhibition will present a sincere face-to-face dialogue between young artists from the East and the West, showcasing their perspectives and creative ideas. In this process, we might reflect on the fact that despite being from different cultural backgrounds, the inspirations and aspirations pursued by young artists in their creations are re- markably similar. They draw from the essence of their respective cultures, while transcending geographical limitations, collectively exploring the mysteries of human emotions and experiences.
