Hegyi, 63, is also from that generation. The art historian and critic has been focusing on contemporary art from central and Eastern Europe.

He says the artists of his generation, like the three on show, were able to create a globalized discourse that was based on the concept of different identities.

Their works communicate between the East and the West and bring people a "touching and comforting experience", he says.

Wang is known for producing paintings that are as precisely executed as an engineering project.

Hegyi says that, underneath these seemingly mechanical lines in Wang's works, viewers can sense "irrational and self-destructive" tendencies of the subjects he focuses on and addresses the paradoxical status of many people.

In his shown work W Screw, Wang says he sees the object as "a spiritual totem that does not fit in with the filth of the real world". He conveys an isolation from his surroundings and a powerful desire for difference.
