On The Experimental Images Of Contemporary China In The Creation Of The "China Element"

Experimental image art in China began in the late eighties of the last century. With the development of global cultural economy, sharing information resource and especially the development of transmission of cultural information have profoundly influenced on each Chinese artists style, media selection and grasp of subject.However, this kind of interaction has brought to Chinese artists a universal concept of art: internationalization. Internationalization means to evaluate the cultural values through international recognition, which means that central culture pay more attention to noncentral culture. In this sense , to create works with Chinese characteristics is undoubtedly the best choice for Chinese artistes, for it is more easily accepted by the west. Its form is to put Chinese traditional elements and modern elements into the works.Westerners understand and accept the experimental image of Chinese works from the Western perspectives. What is most interested by westerners is Chinese spectacles. But they still don't know anything about Chinese cultural realities or always make misunderstanding of it. What is worthy of thinking by us now is that relationship of Chinese history and reality, and to create Chinese artist resource and langue of experimental images from own tradition.
