STATEMENT
Huang’s paintings are inspired by his personal life experiences and mainly discuss affection and impact that one’s growth history would bring to his/her sub-consciousness. In his paintings, which largely depict all kinds of spectacular or catastrophic scenes, the artist describes that the overly abused simulacres in contemporary era already becomes such a cheap perception, in which truth and false are often interwoven with each other. He has been focusing on the contradictory relation between reproduction of painting and life drawing. Each life drawing and reproduction always refers to another duplication and misalignment. Some parts are preserved while other parts are discarded. Subject and object of perception are always in the status of eternally expansion and alternation, where the artist constantly deconstructs himself during creational process.
“Only in silence the word, Only in dark the light, Only in dying life:
Bright the hawk’s flight On the empty sky.
—The Creation of Éa”
― Ursula K. Le Guin
