Europe after industrial revolution and the United States with the rapid rise after World War II, they, with the power in military, politics, economics, technology and even in culture power centers of the Western mind since the formation of the modern world hegemony. That is so called "Cultural hegemony and cultural invasion" , not just military and economic hegemony but also cultural hegemony.On arts, postmodernism Western philosophy in support of deconstruction, made the art anti-art trends. There became a large area finished art, installation art, performance art, conceptual art, pop art, photo effects art, casual art, minimalist art, land art, etc.. And finally the traditional easel painting and figurative art complete marginalized which made its artistic standards as established by the art world standards. Through a large number of museums, galleries, foundations, government cultural propaganda, corporate contributions; through a large number of books, newspapers, television, film, paper; using massive exhibition, an auction company's business operations, information, publicity and so on means all-pervasive, United States and Europe made these operations reached its desired effect: changes in the arts led by itself; rule the artistic value and decide the mainstream contemporary art world. And this advocacy of art are all inconsistent with the contents of the edge of art, while willing to succumb to western modern art in non-western artists are encouraged to fame, works cooperatively to maintain its hegemony. "Cultural hegemony and cultural invasion" approach is built on the basis of this colonial view. The western art world in accordance with their ideological orientation, to nurture the development of a political nature and culture and the works of abnormal forms of expression, to establish the so-called "International Arts standards", and used most of the art standards to influence the creation and sale of contemporary artists.Now, "cultural globalization" has become the development trend of the case, the "cultural hegemony and cultural invasion" as a global cultural development imbalances affect the world's cultural diversity of the process. In western art, contemporary art occupies only a small part of contemporary. Artists only represent about five percent of the artist group. International contemporary art exhibition on the Western art to encourage the implementation of inclusive policies, and on the exhibition of Chinese art only choose the development of the so-called contemporary art following the post-modern western art trends. To improve the westen cultural hegemony and cultural invasion is the implementation to make the importance of the performance of the western cultural center with the art of double standards. United States-led western countries that only advanced western countries and cultures is the world's cultural center and the model. The west's "backward" people's culture is often called derogatory edge culture or ignoranced culture.Globalization has become irreversible trend of today which has brought the Chinese culture a huge influence. As an important component of Chinese culture, the Chinese contemporary art will inevitably be part of the impact of this wave. This activity focusing on the art of political forms, but abandoned the essence of art examine the behavior of the Chinese contemporary art on invisible "voice of western culture" features. From this perspective, the choice from western art to Chinese contemporary art is a kind of "cultural hegemony and cultural invasion" behavior. Through these art forms, they are trying to praise the western political and cultural values, control our political and cultural forms. Behind the surface of prosperity, it harbored the specific political objectives and ambition of cultural colonization. We should not only concern that whether contemporary Chinese art has international status and influence, even more important is that we unconsciously into the trap of western cultural hegemony, and are build our own cultural hero based on their standards. Checking whether the culture is great, we need to see if it can resist the dominant culture or can have critically absorb the essence of other cultures in order to grow their own tradition.Chinese contemporary art should play its fine tradition of superiority, discard the negative and backward things, create the native culture in the integration of traditional and modern culture. With the integrated innovation culture and contemperary national culture as a weapon to against globalizational cultural hegemony and cultural invasion. Development of the arts to "multiple" has become inevitable, nothing could prevent any new artistic phenomenon of the emergence and growth and that any attempt to combine schools within a certain range realized. Chinese culture itself has become an important part with constantly changed construction of a global culture and the arts.By analysing the negative impacts and corresponding strategies on contemporary Chinese art through the "cultural hegemony and cultural invasion systematically, the study is to enable us to focus on this phenomenon, cherish our own cultural heritage and develop the content to create a local culture of contemporary art and presents a new art form. Encouraging multi-cultural interaction in the development of our country, the geographical and ethnic characteristics with the development of art, the reconstruction of international influence through local show, make system with the local orientation of the curator and the art market in China and other standard way to play culture globalization a positive role in resisting cultural hegemony and cultural aggression "carried out in China...
