A group of artists and bonsai horticulturists create a “modern garden” with literati aesthetics in mind. This garden shows literati’s pursuit of arts, nature, and the unity of man and universe in the city. It also forms a tranquil leisure space for dialogue, and a blank space for people to take a break and breathe in this suffocating city.

Based on the setting of a garden with rocks, vases, antiques, relics, fish ponds and flowing water, the paintings and bonsai complement each other seamlessly. The materials and concepts employed by the artists comprise both ancient and modern Chinese and Western elements, which reflect the artists’ thoughts on local culture and its characters.
