China is going through a serious transformation. Nowadays it has become what is known a "double sex society", a country with co-existing socialism and capitalism. The change concerns every sphere of life, so it's no wonder that Chinese artists are also influenced by it, touching upon this issue in their works.
The history of the Chinese contemporary art began in 1995. At this time the artists stopped mimicing the West and found the unique style, expressing their own vision of the present.
Numerous high raised buildings, images of pop cultures, chaotic social order, nihilistic and the super-realistic state of self-being of urban people are characteristic of most of the contemporary artists' works.
You can have an insight into the world of contemporary Chinese art at Palazzo delle Esposizioni up to May, 11.

A beautiful Villa Torlonia, one of the most splendid Italian villas, was recently completely renewed. The gardens were arranged the way they were in the 17th century with some additions such as shrubs, trees, vases and gazebo. The lake and hill in the grounds have been recreated and the paths have been rebuilt and decorated with statues and lamps.
Some changes have been made to the villa too. The Casino Nobile (the Grand/Main Lodge) has been restored externally and internally. Now the Casino serves also as a museum, housing an exhibition of the paintings of the artists who worked during WWI and WWII.
