In celebration of the 2026 Chinese New Year, Culture Lab LIC presents Modern Ink: Crossing Media, Blending Cultures, a group exhibition of contemporary Chinese artists. The five participating artists each possess a distinctive style and unique artistic language. Through their works, audiences can hear a voice that traverses Eastern and Western artistic media, integrates the essence of both cultures, and resonates with the pulse of contemporary society; they can also see conceptual expressions that range from the concentrated spirit of Chinese calligraphy and expressions to the Wall Street Series, which is deeply connected to the realities of modern life. ​Drawing on years of artistic practice, the artists reveal both their personal creative pursuits and broader cultural concerns. These works invite viewers into a multilayered aesthetic experience while encouraging reflection on classical and contemporary art, Eastern and Western traditions, and the human condition of our time.
