Happy birthday dear Hu Qingyan!
Born in 1982 in Shandong, China, Hu Qingyan has developed a distinctive sculptural practice exploring the relationships between form, material, reproduction, and perception. Working primarily with marble, a material traditionally associated with permanence and monumentality, he transforms ordinary objects into meticulously crafted sculptures, inviting us to look again at the familiar and reconsider the social and psychological realities embedded within everyday life.
His work has been presented internationally at institutions including M+ Museum, Hong Kong; the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; Guangdong Museum of Art; Wuhan Art Museum; and Today Art Museum, Beijing, and is held in numerous major public and private collections.
We wish you a joyful birthday!❤✨
