The exhibition “Growth in Motion” at ShanghART WB Central brings together works from 27 artists/groups represented by ShanghART, showcasing a “momentum” look that indicates the fundamental creative will of life, to explore the stream of vitality in the artists’ spirit, constantly overcoming the tendency towards materialization and bursting upwards with life force.

Henri Bergson’s life-philosophy sees life as a tendency, driven and developed by the vital impetus, with which humans have broken free from “torpor” and “instinct”, evolving towards “intelligence”. From the perspective of life to interpret creation, artists’ vital impetus and creative will share a wondrously interconnected core – a mysterious impulse, beyond the rational understanding, that guides pure growth and creation. The works in the exhibition are undoubtedly the material traces left by the inner impulses as they advance into the outer world. It is this impetus that allows art to transcend torpor, instinct, and intelligence, thereby unleashing infinite possibilities.
