\u00a0Since Xi Jinping \u2014 arguably China\u2019s most powerful leader since Chairman Mao \u2014 took the presidential reigns back in 2013, all eyes have been on China. Thanks to an exponential rise in the government\u2019s already infamously heavy-handed approach to independent thought, as well as a mass crackdown on freedom of expression, the world’s second largest economy is the subject of international scrutiny. The news coverage of Chinese affairs has been dogged with reports on the<\/span> trade war<\/span><\/a> between China and the US, the recent <\/span>disappearance of esteemed actress Fan Bingbing<\/span><\/a>, the ban of the<\/span> Hong Kong pro-independence party<\/span><\/a>, and China\u2019s<\/span> mass purge<\/span><\/a> of 4000 websites which were deemed to have\u201cimproper values.\u201d Despite this stifling climate, there has has been an interesting shift in how art is produced in the country, and the types of issues it addresses.<\/span><\/p>\n

The relationship between Chinese art and politics is extremely convoluted. Rewind some 20 years, when China\u2019s art market first opened its doors to an international audience, and the country\u2019s artistic output was less intertwined with the political propaganda of the past, and more concerned with commenting on the pressing social issues of the day. This was a time when the most renowned Chinese artists were making waves by creating politically charged work that challenged the governmental regime and reflected on the actions of the powerful elite. \u201cThat generation of artists \u2014 a lot of their art is political,\u201d explains interdisciplinary artist,<\/span> Pixy Liao<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAnd when people think about Chinese art, they automatically think about the iconic artworks coming out from that time.\u201d It was an era that gave us artists such\u00a0<\/span>as <\/span>Wang Keping<\/span><\/a> who sculpted works like <\/span>Idol <\/span><\/i>(1988) in which he prodded at Chairman Mao\u2019s sustained efforts to transcend to the level of a demi-god, as well as visionaries such as<\/span> Yue Minjun<\/span><\/a>, the artist behind <\/span>The Execution <\/span><\/i>(1995), a powerful commentary on the bloody Tiananmen Square Protests in 1989. During this period, China\u2019s art was inextricable from its politics \u2014 at least, to an international audience.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram","code":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BnzhaSJA9et\/?hl=en&tagged=yueminjun ","settings":{"width":"6"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Nowadays, the link between Chinese art and politics is even more complex, and the bond between the two spheres is open to numerous interpretations. Take Ai Weiwei, for example, undoubtedly the most well-known Chinese artist of our time, who stated (in an <\/span>article<\/span><\/a> for The Guardian) that \u201cthe Chinese art world does not exist\u201d. Ai vehemently believes in the fact that in a society like China, as it stands today, artwork must be political to truly be<\/span> art because it needs to reflect and comment on the current climate and stand for something.\u00a0 This intrinsic link that Ai sees between art and politics is something that he expresses unabashedly in his own work \u2014 something that has resulted in his disfavour in the eyes of the Chinese government. Contemporary artist<\/span> Zhao Zhao<\/span><\/a>\u00a0agrees. “There is\u00a0no way to bypass politics. Even an artist who is not in contact with the outside world, all his actions and choices made in the studio alone can\u2019t get rid of politics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a common misconception that contemporary Chinese art is no longer as political as it once was. The current generation of Chinese artists have grown-up in a completely different environment than the politically-motivated artists of previous generations. As an active member of the Red Guard, artists like Wang Keping experienced firsthand the effects of the Cultural Revolution and the atrocities of June 4<\/span>th<\/span>. In contrast, the post \u201880s and \u201890s generation of Chinese artists grew up in a time when the cultural and societal fabric of China was transformed by globalisation. As Barbara Pollack, award-winning art critic and author of the new book, <\/span>Brand New Art from China: A Generation on the Rise<\/span><\/i>, explains, China has gone from being 75% agricultural and isolated from the rest of the world, to more than 50% urban. The affect that’s had on Chinese identity is a dramatic one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram","code":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BXkKLv8jKjM\/?hl=en&tagged=zhaozhao ","settings":{"width":"6"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

Nowadays, Chinese artists are creating work that is less aimed at overtly critiquing the governmental regime, but touches upon topics they urgently want to express. \u201cIt is the artist\u2019s responsibility to give feedback on the reality of the moment,\u201d agrees digital artist<\/span> Aaajiao<\/span><\/a>. The new generation of Chinese artists tend to be more concerned with twenty-first century problems such as environmental concerns, urban malaise, the digital era, and gender, to name a few. But this does not mean that their work is not political. Politics is not just narrowly defined as the government of a country. Rather it is a term that extends to far-reaching social concerns.and is intrinsically linked to almost everything\u00a0 we do or create. This is particularly evident in a society like China’s which is so concerned with pumping out nationalistic, governmental propaganda \u2014 much of which is targeted at this new generation. \u201cThe young Chinese artists are going against that trend,\u201d Pollack states. \u201cI think that even an artist who is doing abstract paintings in China is doing something political because he is not doing what the government is telling him to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In this way, contemporary Chinese artists are just as politically engaged as they have ever been. Although Chinese society is now more hostile towards freedom of speech, <\/span>the new generation of artists are much more creative and subtle in terms of the political ideas and motifs they express. Take the artist<\/span> Sun Xun<\/span><\/a>, for example: a visual artist who creates politically inclined animations, all of which contain one key character,\u00a0 a \u2018magician\u2019 who deceives the audience with his tricks and who acts as a symbol for a political figure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYounger artists are less interested in making superficial political signs [in] their practices, but are trying to decode various layers of political information in their works,\u201d explains artist<\/span> Zhang Ruyi<\/span><\/a>. However, as artists in China, as opposed to the West, it’s necessary to find strategies to protect their freedom to created, whilst simultaneously confronting and expressing beliefs about the socio-political issues close to their hearts. In a repressive society that shuts down public dissent against the regime and “takes away” people who don\u2019t agree with the status quo, the new generation of Chinese creatives are finding new and innovative ways to express their sentiments through art, all the while ensuring that they don\u2019t put themselves in danger.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"instagram","code":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BnwdVO6FjEm\/?hl=en&taken-by=bloodypixy","settings":{"width":"6"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"

But the older generation of Chinese artists set a precedent for risk-taking, which has coloured Western expectations of what Chinese art should be. This explains why Ai Weiwei is so popular because he does exactly this: he’s vocal about his opposition to the Chinese government and has been castigated, detained and punished because of this. \u201cIf they always see Chinese art as some kind of spectacle or something exotic of course they want to put it into a very easy topic or theme so they can easily approach it,\u201d Liao ruminates. Frequently, Western audiences romanticise the idea of a Chinese artist struggling against the whims and wiles of an oppressive regime, who plays the role of an ambassador for an exotic land, rather than expanding their understanding of the term \u2018political\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

With an increasingly overbearing government and severe repercussions for those who step out of line, the new generation of Chinese artists are discovering new ways to approach political issues and create covert spaces to nurture new opinions. These days, Chinese art is less about spectacle and the overt display of opposition against an oppressive government, and more about discussing socio-political issues in a way that broadens perspectives and opens up topics. As multimedia artist, Ya-chu Kang pertinently puts it, \u201cContemporary art should evoke social issues and bring questions to people to think about.
