Although widely known for his performance art, which aroused people’s reflection over their living environment and experiences through self-sacrifice, Hua is most noted in Chinese contemporary art society for his paintings that present art history in a narrative format.  

 

Hua believes that Chinese contemporary art is both a complex mixture of and a vital part of the international art landscape. He pays close attention to the history of Chinese contemporary art as well as western art history and they have become his inspiration. In Hua’s words: “in our living art circle, what moves me and inspires me the most are those contemporary art works. In my opinion, these works, just like flowers and trees, are also a part of nature and life.” His technique often involves tampering with and repurposing the parts of contemporary art that are worthy of selection, appropriation and reproduction. These elements are reconstructed into new works in forms such as large scale historical collages and Time Magazine parodies.  

​

As an attempt to discover new possibilities for artistic creation, Hua coping of original works is an artist’s conscious and brave method to appreciate art. In Hua’s visual expressions, such as Bohemianism, Gaudy Art, Political Pop, New Generation, New Expressionism and Cartoon Generation, he combines the visual narration of performance art, the juxtaposition and reconstruction of different narrative images, the de-familiarized visual experience conveyed through familiar visual experience, the complexity and ambiguity of narrative connotations, the heterogeneous nature of visual styles, and, in particular, a conscious pondering over and expression of contemporary art development which is felt in the interaction between various images. The relationship between images, the image and its audience, the image and its creator also triggers people’s thoughts. In all this, Hua is conducting an intellectual and archaeological field investigation on the reform of arts brought about by the Reform and Opening-up via his sincerity and affection. Hua brings to his audiences a colorful and non-linear history of Modern Art from a multi-cultural perspective.

​

Currently, Hua is living in Beijing with his wife, who is also an artist, and continues to create art in his studio.
