(Winner) New Year Preparations (Digital and traditional 13.318x10.773) by Iris Liu
The most important part of the spring festival for me is the preparation for it. My mom would spend hours in the kitchen making dumplings, hanging decorations up and making other dishes as well. It’s a busy but happy time for me. I used a very stylized art style by simplifying everything and using bright and simple colors in order to depict the drawing from a child’s view. The perspective of the entire drawing also focuses on the mother, in order to show how important my mother was to me in my early childhood.

New Journey (Digital Art 14.21x9.5 ) by Bonan Wei
The inspiration for these two works comes from the New Year lanterns hanging on the streets of Manhattan's Chinatown. In Chinese: "礼之用，和为贵" translated into English is "In practicing the rules of propriety, it is harmony that is prized." You Zi's words are deeply engraved in Chinese culture. In the new journey, all of us should regard harmony as the most important thing and respect each other to promote the unique color of our Chinese nation. Red represents China, and yellow represents the descendants of the dragon.

Gesture No.7 (133.5x141x 0.1in) by Buwei Hu
I'm a painter, I make paintings drawings, printmaking, and ceramics. Sketching is a habit I developed since childhood and the starting point of my painting. I use drawing-in the moment and from observation-to capture the energy and vitality of my encounters with my partner, Chloe, my cat, and our shared environment. A sense of touch, intimacy, and closeness are crucial to my practice as I translate the drawings into paintings.
As I translate the drawings into paintings, my interaction with the canvas and paint replaced my interaction with the subject, and the subject matter in the painting became a symbolic carrier to convey the essence of painting. I will not refer to the original natural appearance of the subject at this stage but concentrate on the painterly issue - the fine balance between spontaneity and control, vitality, velocity, emphasis, energy, rhythm, profound, etc. - that has existed for hundreds of years.
