The Chinese Culture Center is pleased to present a new art exhibition series, Xin Rui (pronounced as “shin ray”). The title of the series is significant, ‘xin’ meaning ‘new’ and “rui’ meaning ‘sharp’, as it embodies both the type of art and artists that the series aims to feature.
Xin Rui highlights the work of exceptional Chinese and Chinese American artists in the U.S., whose work is unrecognized, or under recognized, in the U.S. In keeping with the themes of ‘new’ and ‘sharp’, the series will focus on the artists’ most recent works. Artworks will all have been created within the past year and half (18 months) before their exhibition at the Chinese Culture Center Gallery, with a special emphasis placed on debut pieces.

Return to the Middle Kingdom by Yuan-Tsung Chen uncovers the past of her late husband, Jack, and his family’s role in China’s history.
