The use of religion and spirituality in contemporary art
The preoccupation with fundamental questions of life is often central to an artist, their work and their audiences. Art can challenge our beliefs and provoke debate. For an artist, art can be a place where personal thoughts and beliefs can be expressed and problems can be detoxified.
Whether an audience can achieve an emotional or spiritual connection through art?
Can we find meaning in the fundamental questions of life through art?
Embodying and rediscovering from the art of imitation, how to share the cultural heritage that still exists. Now, for me, exploring the loss of this generation of culture is what I do in my practice.
In my opinion, we can see that from the past and nowadays, any process, and performance, any exhibition, repeated performances, or maybe every show will be a little different, possibly stimulating transform of something, something happened! Finally, we perhaps found: circulation of life for discovering.

Rethinking: Cultural Exchange Issues V.S Hybridization of Contemporary Arts
If Asian faces replace the European paintings of Madonna and Child ? It might be cultural exchange , cultural plagiarism or cultural appropriation? This may be challenging to find culture and art to identify different cultures in the future. Thus, from a cultural perspective, it seems that it is necessary to consider the issue of cultural identity arising from the cultural exchange of contemporary art.
Hybridization of Contemporary Arts
On the other hand, we cannot deny that art from all over the world combines cultural hybridization to produce innovative contemporary art. In the contemporary art scene, contemporary artists combine current cultural ideas with current events, different cultural and historical experiences that have occurred in the past to reflect contemporary art and create a new hybrid phenomenon in different cultures.
