Hu Changqiong
Born in 1980 in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province. He received his Master’s degree from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2007. He now lives and works in Beijing.
Hu’s practice centers on tempera painting, using pure mineral pigments combined with beeswax, casein, and egg-based binders. His early works examined the pessimistic conditions of human existence within ethical and social realities; later, he turned to painting from life through a self-imposed constraint—working strictly from the limited window views inside and outside his studio. He has held solo exhibitions at the China National Academy of Arts (2023, 2020, 2013, Beijing), Shenzhen Art Museum (2023, Shenzhen), Jining Art Museum (2020, Jining), and ICI LABAS (2020, Beijing), among others. His works have been exhibited at the China National Academy of Arts (2022, Beijing), Tianjin Art Museum (2021, Tianjin), Galerie Francis Barlier (2019, Paris), Zhangzhou Art Museum (2018, Zhangzhou), the Water Cube (2017, Beijing), Zhuzhong Art Museum (2015, Beijing), the Himalayas Museum (2014, Shanghai), and other institutions.
