SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 31, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Reinventing Contemporary Art in Shenzhen
Throughout history, art has had moments where it doesn't merely reflect the world—it reinvents it. Just as Picasso's Cubism and Marcel Duchamp's conceptual provocations redefined the 20th century, Redefining the Quadrant gathers a new generation of artists who are actively redefining the language of contemporary art today.
This is not an exhibition about emerging talent or future promise. It is a powerful declaration of the present, uniting some of the most visionary, sought-after, and institutionally recognized artists working across painting, sculpture, digital media, installation, textiles, and conceptual practice.
Featured Artists
According to Sonia Borrell, founding partner at Art Belina, the exhibition features 43 artworks by 35 leading voices in global contemporary art, Akitoshi Akamatsu, Jean-Marie Appriou, Anastasia Bay, Ana Benaroya, Gina Beavers, Shane Berkery, Almendra Bertoni, Szabolcs Bozó, Rong Bao, André Butzer, Brian Calvin, Camilla Engström, Alfonso Gonzalez Jr., Dhewadi Hadjab, Alexander James, Jordan Kasey, Arghavan Khosravi, Basil Kincaid, Maria Kreyn, Austin Lee, Studio Lenca, Rūtė Merk, Sarah Meyohas, Desire Moheb-Zandi, Gus Monday, Ariana Papademetropoulos, Harrison Pearce, Marria Pratts, Elsa Rouy, Stickymonger, Su Su, Aico Tsumori, Felix Treadwell, Sun Yitian.
