Pop-Up Teahouse Berlin: Finisage of „Fragmentation is Abstraction“ by Asiatischer Künstlerverein Berlin e.V.
„We are a group of artists from China who have received our art education in German cities of Berlin, Kassel, Bremen, Karlsruhe, and finally all met in Berlin. We deeply love our life in Berlin. As Chinese contemporary painting artists who have lived in Berlin for a long time, our different personal and professional development experiences in Europe have contributed to OUR WAY OF understanding of contemporary art. Our long-term education and life in Germany also have a great impact on us, so that each artist’s perspective on painting is different from that of Chinese artists in China and other German artists. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives and our work, but it has also reinforced our belief in the power of coming together, so we hope to have more and better channels and platforms to show our art.
