Having participated in numerous international and domestic exhibitions, Chen Ke has worked in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture and fashion design. Chen Ke is recognized as the most representative artist of the New Generation of Cartoon of China. Background Chen Ke was born in Tongjiang, Sichuan Province of China. When Chen Ke needed to select her major in the university, she read a book about Vincent Van Gogh. She was deeply touched by the story of Van Gogh and decided to major in oil painting. It was at this moment that she came up with the thought of becoming an artist. Following her graduation from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2002, she succeeded in getting her master's degree in oil painting in the same institute in 2005. Later, she came to Beijing with her husband to seek her dream of becoming an artist. Chen Ke thought all of her paintings were part of her memories at that moment. The paintings in the exhibition in 2007 were special to her because they represented her whole childhood, and her parents helped her to find the old things which appeared in her childhood. She left home when she finished her junior high school, so the home in her childhood seems to be far away from her, and every time what she dreamed was her childhood home. Therefore, she wanted to copy her childhood home in Beijing. In her first two years in Beijing, she felt lonely and what she could do was to paint and put her moods into the painting. She believed this is the reason why many people think that the girl in her painting was actually Chen Ke. And the girl in her painting grew up with the growth of Chen Ke. She thought she was lucky that she could cooperate with the Gallery after graduation. She joined many events with different zones of people because she wanted art to be linked with different people. She believed her art appeared from her daily life, so she hoped art could enter the daily lives of people. She thought fashion and art have no differences at the top point. Artworks Chen Ke first showed her works in the 'Self-image: Women in the Arts in China (1920–2010)''' in 2001. And since
