“Collision and Confluence: An Exhibition of Chinese-American Art Faculty” is the largest show of Chinese art professors in the history of North American universities. More than 40 exhibition artists are current art professors from universities in the United States. They are active in Sino-American art worlds. While they teach American students and its public about Chinese traditional culture, they also introduce Western modern art to China. Prof. Daryl Moore, Dean of the College of Arts and Communication at William Paterson University in New Jersey, said the works of the 40 artists in the exhibition reflected their experiences of existence and continued their conversations about human nature. These artists teach in colleges and universities across the United States. They choose art and education as noble careers. Their responsibility is not only to teach and educate people; they are also becoming in the process the catalyst of East/West modern artistic revitalization.
