Chen Yang's graduation work "The Shop of the Wall" created a new artistic language, combining the network economic activities with the personal living environment and individual emotional expression, so that the art exists in the concept, but also appears as a physical object; Both from the individual, and spread to the public; It has greatly expanded the expression space and existence space of art. This creative language provides a new mode of communication and interaction between artists, works and audiences, and completely breaks through the restrictions of galleries and galleries. It is an excellent model of the so-called "online exhibition".

Of course, even without the special background of "online exhibition", "Shop of the Wall" is an excellent work close to The Times, cleverly integrating art into our daily life. Perhaps "The Shop of the Wall" has limited "business", but infinite artistic vitality!

- Cao Hui

 The artist refuses to adhere to the "unified" language logic, and refuses to focus on the set direction and topic. In the relaxed and humorous flow of strange ideas, he reminds us again not to forget the most charming part of art: fun and imagination!

- Jiao Xingtao

The "wall shop" uses the elements of network economy to reproduce the state of my current life. Both physical goods and virtual concepts are available for sale. It wasn't a proper shop in the strict sense, but my unconscious desire to explore new forms. I often feel unable to define the boundary between art and life, so this work removes the inherent form of presentation of sculpture. This shop is an embodiment of my artistic concept -- the potential and uncertainty of creation.

"Online shop" does not have the complex form of art and obscure wordplay. In my opinion, art is not seeking a definite result, but producing new creation in the process of exploration. The more improvisational part of a work (a commodity), usually consisting of a number of disparate things linked to the plot to create a new structure. These things surround me and constitute a reality that reflects my existence in the world "today" as an "art school student." In my opinion, the public and social nature of the Internet, as well as the connection with the truth and falsehood of each of us, is the best carrier for me to express this part of the content. Through the "shop", the emotions, consciousness and life of the individual belong to "me", to maximize the dissemination of the interweave between individuals and society.

"Online shop" began to make me realize that art does not exist only through criticism and criticism of reality. Simple narration is often the more real part of life, and those symbolic symbols, images and artificially defined concepts that make up our own life are transformed into another way to present to the audience.
