Bess Xueyang Hu : uH gnayeuX sseB

Bess Xueyang Hu is a multidisciplinary visual artist with a focus on painting. Her works reference the intersection between sensation and emotional touch, seclusion and corporeal desire, as well as the unconscious and irrational dimensions of human existence. Through a kind of inner experience and symbolist imagination, She tries to translate some unnamed and covert feelings or emotions into a visual form with the primacy of expression and the act of painting itself, which requires freedom of consciousness and spontaneous thoughts. Her practice also entails applying various materials to realise textural possibilities to enliven and strengthen the painterly surfaces, experimenting with different painting techniques and processes. She is interested in exploring the poetics of imagery formed by figure, colour, composition and texture, trying to find a balance and fusion of expression, experimentation and resolution.
