Contemporary art is characterized by its rich diversity. The artists have diverse backgrounds, including the country in which they were born and raised, history, climate, society, time period, environment, etc., and have a variety of problem consciousness and values. They tend to pursue his or her own unique style of expression, resulting in a variety of rich expressions, and the individuality of each artist stands out in his or her works.
In this exhibition, we will focus on works with human motifs and introduce some of the diverse human images of our time through such paintings depicting artist's beloved family realistically, those emphasizing social messages rather than portraits, or those prioritizing figurative expression.
