People from the 60s are distinctive and born in a transitional epoch that offered an observatory position to them. They merely are aware of the repression and pessimism in the 50s, nor live recklessly like people born in the 70s. Therefore they are nothing but extraordinary. We have witnessed that this generation, with heroic minds, is passionate about idealism and appreciates honesty and sincerity. Cultural renaissance and their compassion towards individuals are embodied in their personal expressions as well as in their art. They have provided us with a new perspective to understand their vigor, dreams, responsibilities, and missions. They are infused with spirits of the 70s then diffuse to the society with dreams and passion. Their artworks represent the mind, spirit and soul of this generation; they have encapsulated artists’ respect for cultural position, ideals and morals.

A series of research presented by Springs Art is established on the above cultural context. The research will address artists’ macro context on international and domestic scales, as well as their psychological appeal. It also examines the complicated relationships among styles, forms, mode of studying, mode of narrative, collectivism versus individualism, a country, a society, an individual, official versus unofficial, in versus out of a system, above versus under ground. The series of exhibitions attempts to reveal the artistic liberty behind the narratives addressing revolutions and turmoil.
