Testing Temperature's Freedom - J.S. Tan And Chi Ming

The Fine Art Society Contemporary is proud to present the work of two bright young stars of the Beijing art world, Chi Ming and J S Tan. Following on from their celebrated joint exhibition with Aitkens & Ai Gallery, Beijing, last year, Testing Freedom's Temperature will mark the London debut for both artists.

Aesthetically the pair are poles apart, but though their visual language may be distinct, the artists explore the same pervading themes of their young post-Mao generation. They raise questions about the implications of China's rapid era of economic and cultural change. For two decades Chinese youth have lived, unlike their elders, without the 'religion of Mao'. Theirs is a new culture with bigger boundaries and rampant materialism.
