The Cartoon Generation

Wang Ka's painting style and painting philosophy is typical for China's new contemporary art movement - the 'Cartoon Generation'. This latest movement followed the Political Pop style and Cynical Realism style.

Most of the artists of the 'Cartoon Generation' were born in the 1970s or later. Different from the generation of 'Political Pop' and 'Cynical Realism', this new generation of artists ignores emotions of idealism and social responsibility. Instead these young people pay more attention to the feelings of individuals and focus on daily life.

Artist Statement

That's the best artist's statement I have ever read. No transcendental high hog wishy-washy. Instead, crystal-clear and straight forward. Typical for the Cartoon generation.

"I love painting. It has becomes the most important thing in my life. I do not know what else could make me happy other than painting. I am so happy when I paint, because it is simple."

"I love to paint little things from my daily life, especially girls, dolls and cats. Sometimes I think women are just like cats. Cats are only pursuing food and women are pursuing beauty."
