Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The study of the evolution of Chinese contemporary art in the 20th century helps to fill in the gaps in the works of art history of this period, to in-depth analyze the relationship between artistic progress and social transfor-mations, to expand and clarify the theoretical foundations of the history of Chinese art. The study of art schools, styles and trends allows us to comprehend the patterns of art development and gain new ideas for the devel-opment of modern art theory. Chinese contemporary art reflects the openness and tolerance of Chinese socie-ty, demonstrates the resilience of Chinese culture. In the era of globalization, art, as a universal language, pro-motes cultural exchange and mutual understanding between peoples. Diverse elements of Chinese contempo-rary art, such as the innovative use of traditional culture and the reflection of social reality, can resonate with the international community and become an important tool for China’s cultural dialogue with the world. Yu Yuhang’s work, distinguished by its distinctive style and significant social overtones, has taken a prominent place in contemporary Chinese art. His works not only offer new artistic solutions, but also serve as a reflection of the transformations taking place in Chinese society, as well as changes in people’s worldview in a cultural context.
