Truth Compassion Tolerance International Art Exhibition

With the emergence of China’s economic and political power, artworks by contemporary Chinese who have blessings from the government are selling well. But these artists, all Chinese but one, have not bowed to sanctions of the state. Several have been tortured. They create from a different point of view.

They paint for a basic human dignity that is compromised in China, human rights that transcend culture, drawing from and depicting real stories of extremes: savage suffering, triumphant courage and enduring beauty. They tell the story of the Falun Gong, the spiritual discipline of historic size and popularity that is outlawed and persecuted by the Chinese government.

In telling this untold story words come from the voiceless, those who live by the core virtues of Falun Gong, Truth, Compassion, Tolerance, as well as prisoners of conscience and victims of injustice everywhere. They attempt to create an aesthetic sense based on these virtues’ highest forms so as to benefit the viewer, Art and society. Some have risked their lives to accomplish this feat, believing art can stabilize a society through its ethics and that this is the charge of the artist.
