The Andong Culture and Art Center is holding a special exhibition titled 'The Era of Contemplation - Portraying China' featuring the works of three artists Wang Qingsong, Yao Lu, and Zhang Kechun, showcasing the forefront of contemporary Chinese art, from October 21st to December 4th, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and China.

The three artists in this exhibition 'The Era of Contemplation - Portraying China' are not merely observers of social phenomena but have become cultural icons representing the flow of the times, presenting various issues of contemporary Chinese society through documentary-like works. They aimed to capture the ideological confusion and changes experienced by modern individuals due to globalization and urbanization through diverse productions and grand scales in photography.

An official from the Andong Culture and Art Center stated, "We are pleased to present the works of three representative global contemporary Chinese photographers that are hard to encounter in Andong, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and China."
