Huang Zhe

Huang Zhe is a visual artist who lives and works in Italy and France. His work is based on a methodology derived from his artistic practice, and is presented through an in-depth exploration of the boundaries and reconciliations of modern emotions. "Of course, every phenomenon of the external and internal world can be linear," Kandinsky explained. This sentence is often quoted by Huang Zhe. His work is based on Louis Pierre Althusser's theory of "materialist undercurrents" and Epicurus' atomic theory. This gave him the idea to explore the element of "line", and with its multiple meanings, the pure green line is exactly his artistic poetics. He uses this line to reconcile and communicate with each other, presenting a harmonious and conflicting image of the spiritual world and the real world through the language of art. The green line, as his main means of expression, is a symbol representing an ambiguous reality and runs through all his works. In addition to the eye-catching green line, he also uses the strong color contrast between highly saturated colors in his creation as a means of manipulation, aiming to achieve a harmonious and attractive beauty when placed side by side with the above lines. The point is that Huang Zhe’s aesthetics are not only based on the views of many philosophers, but also on his long-term practice and belief in “moderation”. In addition to brilliant colors, in the choice of subject matter, the artist supports pure sensualism derived from emotions, making dreams, still lifes or themes the objects of his expression, often resorting to irony and strong metaphors, just like novels, which require in-depth understanding, but often have unexpected images, from realism to surrealism to expressionism, and the artist uses all of them without exception, thanks to his mastery of techniques, which allows him to express himself easily.
