[3] In the 2000s, the emergence of Shen Jingdong in a period of revival for Chinese Contemporary Art suggested the dawning of a new era.

Shen Jingdong provided a definitive example of commercialized aesthetics in Chinese pop art.

Since 2007, his works have been exhibited in Hong Kong, Italy, South Korea, Japan, France, New York, and other areas of the United States.

He represented the image of the soldier and of the icons of Chinese life to different kinds of people, sometimes diverted in expressive shades of various colors (Blue, Green, Red, or Yellow).

Furthermore, at the international auction house Sotheby's in 2018 his painting "Strength" sold for over £79,000 after generating competitive bidding from an eclectic range of clients.
