THE WORD HUA MEANS TO PAINT, OR A PAINTING, IN CHINESE.

Internationally recognised for its strong expertise, utmost integrity and complete discretion Hua Gallery specialises in the exciting and sometimes controversial space that is contemporary Chinese art.

As contemporary Chinese art continues to fascinate and intrigue collectors around the world, demand and appetite for fresh and innovative art from this fast changing region continues to escalate.

Hua Gallery represents and exhibits cutting edge, stimulating works by established contemporary Chinese artists, as well as emerging contemporary Chinese artists who are not as yet internationally recognised.

Hua Gallery has developed strong relationships with its artists, and showcases a contemporary Chinese art collection on its online platform that is different and inspirational. Every artist represented by Hua Gallery is chosen for their artistic individuality, the creative symbolism in their work, and the emotional energy their work creates.

Originally established in 2010, Hua Gallery shifted direction in 2015 to operate as an online gallery and platform. The gallery maintains its highly customised service for its collectors while continuing to represent the best of established and emerging artists in the Chinese art world.

FENG ZHENGJIEWorldwide recognised artist Feng Zhengjie (1968, Sichuan province, China) has entered prestigious collections such as that of the Saatchi Gallery and of the Singapore Art Museum, amongst others. He is mostly renowned for his large Warhol-style oil portraits, in a red and turquoise palette, of glamorous-looking women with sinuous red lips and vacant wandering eyes (his signature style). Painted through bright and kitsch colours his work explores issues of consumerism and alienation in our contemporary society and is “often discussed as capitalist critique, his empty eyed models posing as frivolous and vacant signifiers. Neither western nor Chinese in appearance, Feng’s femmes fatales are a super-hybrid of commercial beauty, a science fiction product of globalisation […] Removing all distraction, he exposes the essence of temptation, magnifying the sex appeal of fantasy lifestyle and its gulf of intangibility.” Saatchi Gallery

In his latest series of works Feng Zhengjie engages with the complexity of Chinese characters through vibrant and playful colours, employing an architectural and three dimensional perspective.

“I mostly try to find a way to express my emotions, not to criticise or be provocative. Behind these images of women in my works can be found firstly emotion but also forms of criticism, provocation, introspection... A new understanding of the world. Because I am a person who lives in this country at this moment. On the one hand, people watch a new world that has changed considerately. For example, they can acquire knowledge in the contact with these new things, improve their quality of life and have more opportunities to flourish. It’s positive. On the other hand, this new world also brings changes, not only material but also in value judgments. For example, feelings of anxiety in the face of extreme materialisation. It's negative. My view is like a coin with two sides. My works convey a state of mind: curiosity and perplexity between which exists a conflict.”
