Art awards spotlight emerging creative talent

TO support and encourage young artists, the Inter-Youth Art Awards, sponsored by the China Academy of Art, honored international arts students earlier this month.

Having received more than 1,000 works from Asia, America and Europe, the award committee selected around 300 pieces for an exhibition. It also awarded 31 artists from China, USA, Germany, and Italy, as well as seven studios.

“To show the vitality of young contemporary artists, the awards are more convincing than any report,” principal of China Academy of Art, Xu Jiang, said at the opening.

“Comparing artworks with different cultures is a way to see possibilities of art development,” said Nino Svireli, now studying at University of Fine Arts in Hamburg. Svireli was showing a series of her collage paintings.

The awards event also included art workshops.

“A practitioner is always influenced by whatever one sees, but each of them has one’s unique backpack,” said Dominique Lammli, professor at Zurich University of the Arts, who led one such workshop. “In the global age, we have to get artists to rethink how we could collaboratively work together.”
