and social codes through the work of the Chinese artist Nan Hao,
Russell Beighton from U.K., the French photographer Guillaume Janot

the artists flirt with limits and conception of our present world.

"China Praise"

Praise and encouragement are the greatest social activities
of human beings. Everyone desires to win approval and praise
from others. To some extent, social development and progress
are promoted by praise. There are particular meanings and
signs of praise in China. Spiritual praise is more important
than material praise. From Mao's period until now, "red flower"
and "certificate" are the most outstanding representation of praise.
"Military uniform" and "Chinese tunic suit" also symbolize progress.
However praise experiences delicate changes nowadays.
What Wang Limin express is Chinese youth's various states under the
influence of praise in current society.

"COLOR PARTY" by THOMA RYSE

The art of Thoma Ryse is a brazenly welcoming song to color,
the joy of living, and seeing the world abstractly.
The first impression of French painter Thoma Ryse's are of clean,
brilliant colors, rich surface textures, a dramatic, lyrical line,
and a voice that is filled with the sheer joy of life itself.
All his paintings, suggest worlds beyond the edges of the picture plane.
That is what is exciting, the world we see
before us are helping us to wonder about the world beyond.
There is a great deal of simple pleasure to be had from Thoma Ryse's art.
One never feels overwhelmed by a sense that the artist wishes to
impart some kind of "serious" message to us beyond that of the sheer
joy that he sees around him.
Ryse's vision of the world is one filled with a gentle poetry that seems rarely
touched by sadness. It is up to the viewer to embrace it,
to feel it, and to let it wash through one in peace. By Ian Findlay, Asian Art News
