Xu Hualing was born in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, in 1975. She received both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Chinese painting from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing in 2000 and 2003, respectively. She currently lives, works, and teaches in Beijing at CAFA.
Her paintings often depict young girls on the cusp of adolescence, reclaiming the narrative of the female body from a traditionally male perspective. Through these images, she explores the tenderness, sensitivity, and psychological vulnerability of this stage of life. Elements such as bruises or band-aids, set against ethereal portrayals of the female body, suggest the tension between expectations, dreams, and possibilities and the realities of growing up.

Xu Hualing’s gongbi painting Skull is the quietest meditation in this exhibition. Traditional gongbi painting rarely takes the skull as its subject, yet through delicate brushwork and subdued colours she renders death almost gentle. The skull is no longer a frightening symbol but a clear reminder: the mountain remains while the person is gone. South Gazing Mountain can be seen day after day, yet the one who gazes upon it will eventually depart. This Eastern sensibility—calmly observing coming and going—echoes the mountain’s enduring silence.

Born in 1966 in Changchun, Jilin Province, China, Wu Yi currently lives and works in Beijing. He is Associate Professor in the Mural Painting Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, where he serves as a graduate supervisor and Director of Studio No. 4.
Wu Yi graduated in 1989 from the Chinese Painting Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a bachelor’s degree, and later received his master’s degree from the same department in 1993 under the guidance of Professor Lu Chen. In 1992, at the invitation of Xinhua News Agency, he created cover illustrations for the Japanese monthly magazine Shorinji Kempo, published by Mainichi Shimbun.
He was listed among the “Powerful Chinese Contemporary Artists” by L’OFFICIEL Art in 2009 and 2014. His monograph, published by the American art publisher TIMEZONE8, was first launched at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Wu Yi was also the first Asian artist to illustrate the Czech edition of Laozi – Tao Te Ching (two volumes), which has been collected by the National Library.

Wu Yi’s paintings of Beijing read like a traveller’s diary, with loose brushstrokes recording the streets and skylines he encounters along the way. His depictions of Jingshan and the Forbidden City are less about constructing a landscape than about passing through it. This wandering gaze resonates with the idea of South Gazing Mountain as a place of lookout. The mountain is a point of pause, while Wu Yi’s paintings capture a gaze in motion.

Born in 1976 in Liaoning Province, China, Shen Liang currently lives and works in Beijing. He graduated from the Third Studio of the Oil Painting Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, where he received his master’s degree.
Shen Liang’s practice draws on the literati tradition, exploring the poetic relationship between image, calligraphy, and painting. In his work, calligraphy and painting function together as expressive forms, allowing representation and abstraction to merge within a distinctive visual language that sets his work apart from both Western contemporary painting and Chinese contemporary ink art.
His works are held in the collections of the Seattle Art Museum, the White Rabbit Gallery in Australia, the National Art Museum of China, and the CAFA Art Museum. He has held solo exhibitions in Frankfurt and Berlin, New York, Seoul, and Beijing.

Shen Liang’s series of oil paintings of small cats brings this sense of everydayness into a more intimate and tender realm. Cats are household spirits—companions, yet also mirrors of solitude. In these paintings, a cat might crouch on a windowsill, gazing out toward South Gazing Mountain. The mountain’s permanence and the cat’s fleeting life create a quiet and subtle contrast.

Li Jin (b. 1958, Tianjin, China) is known for his vibrant ink paintings depicting the sensory pleasures of contemporary life. In scenes of banquets and everyday encounters, figures—often including the artist himself—appear among food, drink, and moments of intimacy. While playful and exuberant, these images also carry a quiet sense of reflection, suggesting the fleeting nature of pleasure.
A spiritual dimension has long underpinned Li Jin’s practice. In 1984, inspired by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, he travelled to Tibet in search of a deeper connection with nature. Experiences there, including witnessing a sky burial, led him to reflect on mortality and the limits of physical existence.
After leaving Tibet in 1993, Li Jin embraced the changing realities of contemporary China. Influenced by the New Literati painter Zhu Xinjian, he developed an aesthetic of xianhuo, or ‘aliveness,’ portraying food, desire, and daily life with candour and vitality.
