Hadrien de Montferrand Gallery is pleased to present EROTIC X HUANG RUI, a new exhibition dedicated to the works of paper of the artist from early 80’ s to nowadays, exploring erotism, through ink, pencil and pastel on paper.
Starting from the 1980’ s Huang Rui has been producing erotico-abstract shapes using ink on paper: forests of bodies, legs, spots, lines giving a frame for men and women to meet. Hang Rui’ s production is a playful one: vaginas become the yin and yang, chopped fruits or opened flowers openly evoke, mountains of breasts and winding roads move and amuse at once.
Throughout his career, Huang Rui painted and drew the women who inspired him with voluptuous curves and delicate lines. With a powerful understanding of colour and bold strokes of strong movements, his recent interpretations of Japanese engravings create diptychs alternating between abstraction and expressionism.
Always ahead of his time and longing for a purer form of liberty, Huang Rui ponders over the history of his country, the meaning of words, colour, shapes, China’ s transformations, literature, Taoist philosophy. Amongst those, eroticism lets out breaths of joyful air, as women have taken over the works for four decades.
