Against the backdrop of globalization, many of Chiang Hsun’s works focus on reviving Eastern aesthetics in the modern age.

The exhibition is organized by Christie’s, the world’s biggest auction house.

“Mr. Chiang has been devoted to the dissemination of Eastern and Western art, which also echoes Christie’s mission in China. To us, Chiang Hsun is not only an advocate but also a practitioner of art-making, who promotes both artistic creation and aesthetic appreciation," said Rebecca Wei, president of Christie's Asia.
