Facing today's Contemporary Chinese Art scene, I'd much rather observe, from an elevated vantage point, in order to understand why a traditional artist, even if he possesses extremely high painting skills, must not become an "elitist" artist of the 21st Century. I want to stand, high up on the mountain top, with supporters of traditionalism to create and investigate the golden age of our era. — Gao Huijun, 2014
