Huang Rui's paintings are a vibrant fusion of his insights into poetry, music, and Taoism. In his recent work, Unphased Space-14, he employs a unique technique to carve a rectangular hole in the canvas, creating a dialogue between two layers of space: the canvas itself and the “void” behind it. This transformation elevates the painting into an immersive picture installation, where surfaces interact within a three-dimensional architectural realm. This work unveils the artist's latest explorations in abstract art.

Huang Rui (b. 1952 China) Last year Huang Rui was deeply awakened by the war in the Ukraine and has created a new series of works for peace in the Ukraine now exhibiting at the Polish Embassy in Beijing and will be featured in ABHK23 as well as in the gallery. With a 3-D cut painting of a whitewashed wall entitled “ONENESS” Huang Rui suggests the ultimate solution to all wars. Huang Rui is one of the pioneers of the Chinese avant-garde art movement, The Stars-Xing Xing, in the 1970s considered a pivotal moment in the development of Chinese contemporary art in the post-Mao era. Huang Rui has exhibited at the Guggenheim in NY, The M+ in HK, UCCA Beijing, Jupiter Museum Shenzhen and later this year at the Long Museum in Shanghai.
