HUANG YUXING

Born in Beijing, Huang Yuxing graduated from the Department of Mural Painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2000. In 2015, he was honoured to showcase his exceptional works at the prestigious Yuz Museum Project room titled Liquidus. Huang’s artistic expression surpasses the confines of a predefined ideal image, instead blossoming organically from within his paintings.

Throughout his career, he has consistently found inspiration in various elements such as water, whirlpools, forests, minerals, crystals, and architecture. While he does not strive for a precise naturalistic representation of these objects, he does not wholly abandon their real-world forms. Instead, he endeavours to reconstruct the impressions they evoke. For instance, when confronted with a river, people often find themselves lost in contemplation, seemingly empty-minded. Huang employs colours on his canvases that engross the viewer in a similar sense of emptiness. However, in contrast to the Pointillism technique of the Post-Impressionists, Huang actively overlaps and meticulously adjusts the colours until he achieves his desired level of satisfaction. This process aims to evoke the energy emanating from his paintings and is an integral part of his creative journey. The modification of colours, shapes, and compositions captures the artist’s attention, constantly engaging him in a perpetual cycle of refinement. Through this process, the painting gains a vibrant and self-sufficient life, serving as a catalyst for continual growth.
