Following government reforms in China during the 1980s, an increasing number of Chinese artists are now studying and working overseas, including in Australia. This research explores the impact of changing attitudes in China toward contemporary art and what this means for an emerging generation of Chinese artists working internationally. I consider how Chinese artists working outside of China today can capture their cross-cultural experience and establish a sense of identity in a changing globalised world. I explore how contemporary art can capture two different worldviews and reflect a cross-cultural dialogue between different societies. My practice-led visual arts research project, accompanied by this exegesis, addresses these considerations through my experience as a Chinese artist working in Australia.
