Ma Jun & Huang Min 29.07- 29.08 L.A.Gallery Beijng

Porcelain is not a widely used media in
contemporary art, but its unique character shown in the art works of Ma Jun and Huang Min does make me believe that porcelain improves the variety of art greatly. Porcelain has been a symbol of Chinese art for more than one thousand years. On one hand, artists find porcelain a very important media because it carries the sense of history; on the other hand, it is a burden because of its great history. So in spite of the power of porcelain, porcelain may play a very weak role in modern art because of the limitation of the artists.

Ma Jun and Huang Min transformed the traditional taste of porcelain in their
recent works. In their works, porcelain is not only the form, but also the content.
Form and function meet in their works. When contemporary artists play with the
ideas of Chinese traditional culture, past and present are connected.
