info. — Henry H. Hu

Henry H. Hu 胡漢儒 (born. 1995, Hong Kong) is a self-taught artist of Chinese descent. His multidisciplinary practice commits to an infusion, an exchange, an immediacy, a link—between the interior and the exterior—of a self, a being, an identity, a consciousness. Each individual series offers an overarching narrative, steps away from the present for a spell: tasked with casting new perspectives, fresh air to breathe, a spiritual relief. Often juxtaposing the past with the future, differing forms of surrealistic fantasies unfold across his work; along with a recurring structure, the heart of all series rests in harmony.

Henry Hu arrived at his practice through modern technological tools and software. Easily accessible, the digital medium served as an immediate resource. His early work engaged aspects of digital art and graphic design. The years followed, in an attempt to shift towards a more physical manner. Hu took on new materials, working between formats, to incorporate his digital creations into tangible forms. This ongoing exploration has manifested in mixed-media paintings, lens-based works, computer-generated animation, and more recently sculpture and installation.

He currently works and lives in London.
