Personality assessment

Cao Yu's works involve a variety of media, including photography, video, painting, sculpture, installation and performance art. Cao Yu's unique artistic practice has boldly explored issues such as body, gender and identity. Cao Yu overthrew the boundaries with his own body, and made a bold voice for himself and a new generation of artists clearly and forcefully. Her works challenge social norms and give a new explanation to the current female problems. In this process, this artist with free soul and persistent spirit has opened up new possibilities for us. (12 AAC Art China Jury Evaluation)

This graduate student from Central America, who just graduated, won both the controversy and the annual award. In his nature and performance, he raised questions about the value and identity of China society at present. (Beijing Youth Daily Review)
