The exhibition, held at Taipei Fine Arts Museum until September 16, 2012 (http://www.tfam.museum/TFAM_Exhibition/exhibitionDetail.aspx?PMN=2&ExhibitionId=432&PMId=432), gathers 33 works by 21 Shanghai artists including the representative works of artists active on Shanghai’s modern art stage and even the international art stage. Some of the artists are committed to studying the modernity of the pattern language, get ahead of various domestic artistic creation institutes in terms of colors, structures and materials, and gradually form modern Oriental aesthetic temperaments. Some make efforts to express urban sentiments, form exquisite and nostalgic urban feels and tastes, and lay a foundation for this city’s most prominent cultural and artistic characteristic. There are also some artists who attach importance to personal feelings and subjective consciousness, keep looking for connection and balance between their artistic appeals and international artistic trends. The exhibition fully showcases the academic level and creative strength of modern Shanghai arts from three perspectives: the pattern language, urban sentiments and individual feelings.
