Abstract

This study employs semiotic theory to explore the visual symbols and their meanings in contemporary Chinese art. By analyzing the visual symbols of specific artworks through case studies and interpreting their meanings centered around Roland Barthes's theory of myth, the research delves into the association between art and semiotics in various artistic forms including two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and digital visual symbols. Focusing on works created after the 1979 'Star Art Exhibition', it provides a nuanced understanding of the semiotics and visual symbols in contemporary Chinese art, demonstrating semiotics as a valuable framework for in-depth analysis. The findings reveal that through semiotic analysis, contemporary Chinese art can be seen as a 'text' with profound socio-cultural meanings, enhancing our comprehension of the intricate interplay and deeper significations between contemporary art and signs.
