闫珩和申大鹏都是80后的艺术家，从美术学院毕业后他们都选择了绘画作为他们的终身事业。他们都具有很强的专业背景，经由扎实的艺术训练所显露出的高度的写实及表现功力在80后的艺术家中不可多见，再加上两位年轻人丰富的想像力和善于独立思考的精神，使得他们的作品即流露出现实的关怀，同时又摆脱了上一代艺术家因为耽溺于符号的挪用和观念的铺陈，从而造成感性和情感的缺失的定式，以奇诡的想像与精美的画面，去触动观者内心的敏感。

这一代艺术家不太关注意识形态的价值判断， 而 更多地忠实于他们个人的内心感受的表达。闫珩以第一名的专业成绩毕业于鲁迅美术学院第叁画室，他的作品既触动现实，以一个年轻人的视角去观看和表现当下的社会景观，同时又把想像的符号与现实的画面融合在一起，在其中又有年轻艺术家的心理欲望的隐秘交织，从而呈现出一种生动而又奇诡的图像，画面既有现实主义 的风格，又充满了表现主义的色彩。

申大鹏的作品则更多的是对于艺术家自身的内心心理活动的关照，他的作品以极为细腻和高度写实的手法，去表现身边熟悉的人和事物。但它们又并非是现实主义的，而是带有超现实的风格，并且把流行的卡通样式与超级写实的技巧完美地结合在一起，从而形成了他自己的个人风格。观看他的作品犹如一次深入艺术家内心梦境与 情感世界的探索，在由丰富的色彩与形式交织成的想像空间里旅行。
