Huang Yulong 黃玉龍

簡歷

Huang Yulong was born in Anhui, China in 1983. In 2007, he graduated from the sculpture department of the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute in China. Huang Yulong harnesses the hoodie, ubiquitous symbol of street culture globally, working predominantly with ceramics, bronze and steel to present sculptures which challenge our preconceptions of youth culture. Within the hoodie is an emptiness which is the void into which acceptance and inclusion will pour. Each visitor will imagine themselves as being welcomed into youth culture, exploring the Taoist principle of Oneness, considering everything as nothing and nothing as everything. Skateboards have also been sculpted out of porcelain in recognition of the evolving nature of Chinese tradition and the ever-presence of our past in the midst of our urban reality. His three-metre-tall, hooded centaur figure has been exhibited internationally, including in Beijing, Hong Kong, and France, where it was recently featured on the grounds of the Château de la Celle Saint-Cloud, which is managed by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 2018, he collaborated with superstar Andy Lau on a sculpture series entitled “Share the Love.” Huang’s exhibitions have taken place at the Wulong Lanba Art Festival (2019), Art+ Shanghai Gallery (2018), the International Fine Craft & Creation Biennial, Paris (2017) and Art Beijing (2015).
