After the exhibition in Whiterabbit

Whiterabbit is a art gallary which is located at 30 Balfour Street Chippendale NSW 2008 Australia. It is opened from Thursday – Sunday; 10am – 6pm and everyone can go for free. Most of the artwork in this gallary is made by Chinese artists. Mrs Neilson, who is the owner of this gallary, decide to show all the artworks she buys would make the exciting world of contemporary Chinese art available to all Australians.

The artworks in the gallary relate to the policy, culture and reflect the big environment in China quite a lot. Some of them also represents the relationship between environment and humen being; the artist's main values to the world and life,etc.

The work called "Monalisa from Clear Sky to Rain" and made by Han jinpeng really impress me. It uses modern techniques to display and challanged the traditional art. Traditional frame is used that really creates a contrast with the main artwork. In the video, artstist dressed as the character in famous traditional painting himself record the whole process in the natural phenomenon. After the appearance of a famous artwork character, they are all just normal people. Very interesting way to showing the idea.

The establishment of the Gallery, though, was very deliberate. We wanted to share with Australians and the world the best of Chinese contemporary art since 2000—a turning point that I think of as the Big Bang. I hope all visitors to the Gallery will experience the surprise, delight and fascination that the White Rabbit Collection’s artists and their works have given the Neilson family.
