Since the 1980s, Chinese painting seems to have naturally drawn closer to abstraction with Expressionist styles, while the rational abstraction style has not been thoroughly developed. Into the twenty-first century, various young artists independently began to integrate concepts and behavior into abstraction, thus expanding the expression of reason and conception. Hang Chunhui’s creations are one facet of this situation. From the perspective of art history, it was the reason and thought in art that pushed the conceptualization of art and opened the gates of contemporariness. Hang Chunhui’s seemingly cold style might just imply the potential unfolding of a new contemporariness in painting.
