About
A textile-based art exhibition that brings together the intricate and evocative work of seven contemporary women artists from Beizhen, China— a place known for its rich artistic heritage. This exquisite collection features hand-painted silk scrolls that merge ancient technique with contemporary expression.
Representing the Artist Association of Beizhen, the featured artists — Xie Fengyu, Shao Dan, Zhang Xuelian, Li Cheng, Wu Wei, Liu Xiuli, and Yang Fang — each bring a unique vision to the timeless medium of silk painting.
In a globalized world shaped by cultural exchange, The New Silk Road reimagines the historic trade route as a symbol of creative dialogue and female artistic legacy. Just as silk once connected civilizations, this exhibition invites viewers to witness the enduring thread between tradition and transformation — where East meets West, past meets present, and craft becomes voice.
Presented in partnership with Art Fair Hamilton | The Art Association of Beizhen, China | Women's Art Association of Hamilton
