昇艺术空间新近入驻上海莫干山路50号艺术园区，经营的主轴是走中国当代前卫艺术的道路。因为中国当代艺术是现在中国各型各式、多样化艺术项目中的时代趋势；也唯有当代艺术才能立足大陆，走出中国，扬名于国际艺术舞台。直到1997年左右，中国当代前卫艺术才真正与艺术市场接轨。但能接受及欣赏的收藏家局限在欧美人士；所以早期的中国当代艺术精品，大多流向海外。2000年后，中国经济崛起，至艺术收藏受到关注，终于有了内地本土的收藏家，也因此开始才能把中国当代优质的艺术品留在国内。         画廊的经营目标是以专业的能力，介绍有潜力、有实力的当代艺术家作品，给对艺术欣赏有兴趣的大众；更希望能遇上有眼光、具能力的收藏家。以期在收藏家、艺术家与画廊三方合作共同努力耕耘下，让中国当代艺术发光发亮。         本画廊的展览规划，开始以浮于台面的艺术家为起头，继之以寻找能出人头地的艺术家为责任。也唯有靠前瞻性的眼光，才能让画廊得以永续经营。所以开幕展就以“挑战传统视觉限度，聚焦中国当代艺术”为画廊的经营方向及座右铭。因此，参加画廊首展的等十位艺术家均是如今中国当代绘画的翘楚。          Over the last twenty years the Chinese contemporary art scene has seen a succession of works that have been ever more diverse and complex in their style and form. This individuality has allowed Chinese art to quickly establish itself on the international scene becoming an innovative and inspirational force.          Since its conception in 2005 SHiNE Art Space has provided a platform for avant garde Chinese contemporary art endeavoring to introduce the talent and potential of Chinese artists to a wider public. Shine trusts that in the gallery’s cooperation with artists and collectors we can further cultivate Chinese art and allow it to continue flourishing. The originality and diversity of Shine’s exhibitions have enabled the gallery to gain a firm standing within China whilst establishing an international reputation that is being continuously built upon.           The Chinese contemporary art scene has at last gained its fully deserved recognition and over the last few years, in addition to already celebrated artists we have seen the rise of a variety of newcomers whose diverse works have injected a new dose of passion into the Chinese art scene. In their efforts to express the turmoil and furious pace of modern China these artists have produced challenging vivacious artworks that clamor to be noticed. Shine Art Space has showcased many innovative art. The style and form of work exhibited at Shine may vary considerably but throughout it can be seen that we are “Challenging Traditional Visual Limits in Chinese Contemporary Art”. This we take to be our motto as we aim to continually source the finest of contemporary talents.          Our name 昇艺术空间, Shine Art Space encompasses two closely linked meanings. “Sheng in Chinese can be defined as both “shine” and “rise.” These terms reflect our aims to firstly, “shed light” on emerging Chinese artists, introducing them to collectors and the general public, and, secondly, to see these artists “rise” and come to light establishing themselves as an integral part of China’s rapidly growing art world.
