Xiong Yu is a pivotal figure in contemporary Chinese art and an important symbolic artist born after the 1970s. In his paintings, we can discern many characteristics of this generation from the late 1970s, such as hope, a comic visual style, hallucinatory experiences, cool imagery and colors, and a sense of electronic civilization.

This batch was produced in 2010. The wings fluttering behind the figures and the beams of light illuminating the scene both emphasize and highlight human faith. The artist says: "Everyone has hope, and hope often exists within us like invisible wings."

Xiong Yu's works are not bound by conventional methods. His exaggerated figures, resembling comic characters with large eyes and elegant postures, easily capture the viewer's attention and directly confront our inner selves. Seeing Xiong Yu's works may evoke memories of their early hopes and aspirations.
