关音夫，1975年生于黑龙江，2002 年毕业于中央戏剧学院舞台美术系舞台设计专业， 现生活工作于北京。
关音夫的艺术是一种尊从、把握并引导物性的艺术，他让颜料这种对于画家来说最常见的物质用自己的方式说话，他强化了颜料的物质体量与来自工业的均质性，并 在这基本事实上去生成对应于今天物质世界的感性形式。丙烯、聚氨酯、不锈钢、五合板、物流木箱，以及各种媒介剂，这些经常出现于关音夫的作品里的基础加工物在今天的中国城市生活中显得熟悉而多余，大量却单一，相较于越来越数字与虚 拟的社会，它们又有一丝陈旧与过时，但却因此获得了一种普通的真实感，并作为一种经验的惯性涌现在了他的作品中——这一切使得关音夫的作品具有一种装置感，虽然艺术家本人从未刻意把他的作品与社会存在联系起来。
Guan Yinfu was born in Heilongjiang, China in 1975, graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, Theatre Arts department, Stage Design major in 2002, currently lives and works in Beijing.
The art of Guan Yinfu is the kind of art that submits to, grasps, and utilizes materiality, allowing paint, the most commonplace material for painters, to vocalize in its own way. He emphasized the material volume and industrial homogeneity of paint, and based on this, he has engendered a sensual form that’s correspondent to today’s material world. Acrylic, polyurethane, stainless steel, plywood, wooden crates, and various mediums—these processed materials that often appear in Guan Yinfu’s works are familiar but redundant, abundant but homogenous, in contemporary Chinese urban life. In comparison to the increasingly digital and virtual society, they seem a bit outmoded and obsolete, which bestow them a sense of authenticity. This kind of experience emerges in his works as a sense of inertia—all of this creates a sense of installation in Guan Yinfu’s works, although the artist has never intentionally elucidated any social issue in his works.

季大纯，1968生于中国江苏，1993毕业于中国中央美术学院油画系四画室。季大纯是1970年前后出生那一代的代表性画家之一，他以鲜明的个人风格而广受瞩目。
创作了许多艺术生涯早期被广泛认知的具象画之后，季大纯开始锺情于相对于油画颜料更为轻薄、不饱满的丙烯。从最开始对丙烯迟滞和拖泥带水的画面效果吸引，到最近的两个以“黑”和“白”为主题的系列中，他用佩恩灰这一他称之为不稳定的颜料色，实验其在画面上如何呈现不同的透明度、软硬、颜色层次，体会颜料主体、残留物与画面的关系：季大纯总是在这一工作中尝试理解自己的绘画实践在（艺术）历史与现实的时空中的位置，用种种理由制造/折开颜料实验，徒劳地接近有限之物的阈限。
Ji Dachun was born in Jiangsu, China in 1968. He graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts, Oil Painting Department, Beijing, China in 1993. Ji Dachun is one of the representative painters of the generation born around 1970. He has attracted wide attention for his distinctive personal style.
After having produced many of his now-widely recognized figurative paintings from his early career, Ji Dachun (b. 1968) begins to gravitate towards acrylic, a medium that is comparatively lighter and less saturated than oil paint. Initially he was obsessed with the viscous pictorial effect of acrylic, and later on there were his serial explorations of the themes of “Black” and “White”. Throughout this entire process, he has experimented with Payne’s gray—which he considered an unstable pigment color—in terms of how it presents different shades of transparencies, textures, and tonal layers on the canvas. He experimented so as to grasp the relationship between the subject of paint, the residue, and the image. Through this project, Ji Dachun endeavors to grasp his own position within the coordination of (art) history and reality and comes up with his own rationales to experiment with—or deconstruct—paint in a perhaps attempt to approximate the boundaries of finite things.
As one of the most representative Chinese contemporary artists, Ji Dachun is widely noticed for his distinctive personal style. Ji has held solo exhibitions at LudwigMuseum (Koblenz,Germany), MACRO Museo d‘Arte Contemporanea Roma (Rome, Italy), Ullens Center for Contemporary Art (Beijing, China), Kunstmuseum Bern (Bern, Switzerland), Posco Museum (Seoul, South Korea) and other art institutions. His works have been exhibited in the 56th Venice Biennial, 2012 Gwangju Biennale Special Exhibition, The First Triennial of Chinese Arts, 2001 Chengdu Biennale, 2000 Shanghai Biennale, the 1st China Oil Painting Biennale and the 2nd 2ed Annual China Oil Painting Exhibition.

娄申义，1973年出生于浙江绍兴上虞丰惠县城，1989年考入浙江美术学院附中，1993年考入中央美术学院壁画系，1997年毕业后在中国美术学院任教至今。
娄申义的绘画取材广泛，多与其少年时代的阅读经验有关，《西游记》、佛经、田园风光、异域景观和肖像是他最常涉猎的。在经历了多种样式的绘画实践后，近十年来，娄申义越发偏爱勾线填色的简单技法，用马克笔来勾勒线条，用不经调和的纯色来上色，从而获得简明有力的视觉快感。
Lou Shenyi was born in the county town of Fenghui in Shangyu, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province in 1973. He was admitted to the Affiliated High School of Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in 1989 and entered the Mural Painting Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing (CAFA) in 1993. He has been teaching at China Academy of Art (CAA) since his graduation in 1997.
Lou’s painting draws from a broad range of topics benefiting from his childhood reading experience. Journey to the West, Buddhist sutras, pastoral sceneries, exotic landscapes, and portraiture are his favourites. After many years of diversified drawing experiments, Lou found his predilection for the rudimentary technique of outlining and colouring, i.e. outlining with markers and colouring with unmixed colours, which brings a concise, powerful, and visually impactful pleasure.
Lou perceives the world with childlike eyes, “I found naivety rather wise: the more superficial it appears, the closer it gets to the profound.”

那顺巴图，1969年出生于中国内蒙古鄂尔多斯，1989年毕业于内蒙古师范大学美术系，2000-2006年攻读德国布伦瑞克艺术大学（HBK) 研究生及艺术类博士（大师生），2006年荣获布鲁瑞克文化遗产大师生奖(SBK)。现生活工作于德国法兰克福，主要创作当代油画。
Nashunbatu was born in 1969 in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Inner Mongolia Normal University in 1989. From 2000 to 2006, he studied at the University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig, Germany, Where he was awarded the Scholarship of the Foundation for Cultural Heritage of Braunschweig (SBK) in 2006. Currently lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, he mainly works with contemporary oil paintings .
Formal analytic and thematic consideration of Nashunbatu’s work shows that the works articulate their quality at the two levels that are relevant to the medium of painting. A reflexive approach to the possibilities of painting after the end of painting, and a unique experience associatively legible at the thematic level, which can be read as a critical commentary on the current state of our relation to subject/self and the world, come together. The twin poles of the horizon of meaning in Nashun Nashunbatu’s art illustrates the potential of a contemporary approach to painting that interrelates a wide spectrum of relational fields and gives pictorial expression to virulent experiences of our condition as contemporary individuals.

许宏翔，1984 年出生于湖南长沙，2007 毕业于中央美院版画系获学士学位，2011 年 毕业于中央美术学院版画系获硕士学位，现生活工作于北京。
Xu Hongxiang was born in Changsha, Hunan Province, China in 1984, graduated from the Printmaking Department of China Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007 with a bachelor ́s degree, graduated from the Printmaking Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2011 with a master's degree, and now lives and works in Beijing.
Xu Hongxiang’s artistic practice often revolves around painting. Project-based painting series with narrative contents and oil paintings centered on landscapes are the two parallel creative approaches that punctuate his career. "Image", "body", and "the relationship between painting and reality" are the overarching themes he has been trying to explore in his multi-media painting projects throughout the years. The traits of his highly stylized painting, which included a signature saturated palette, are the fragments that reflect such themes.

Zhang Kai was born in Shanxi province, China in 1985. He graduated from the School of Arts, Shanxi Normal University, currently works and lives in Beijing.
In his painting, the protagonists are personified and spiritualized cats and rabbits, which present the tranquil, mysterious and poetic atmosphere. Through the synthesis and reconstruction of the classical and the contemporary, Zhang Kai presents his thinking on time, spirit, appearance and essence, starting from his analysis of art history from the contemporary perspective, and his own aesthetic tendencies.
