Description: Born in Beijing in 1945, Hu Yongkai attended the prestigious Central Academy of Fine Arts. From 1964 to 1985 he served as an art director at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio. He was a lecturer in the Fine Arts College of Shanghai University from 1985 until he emigrated to Hong Kong three years later. Hu’s works have been exhibited extensively in Shanghai, Taipei, Singapore, Hong Kong and throughout Europe and the United States. Hu Yongkai is now a resident of the United States and divides his time between his home in California and studio in Hong Kong.In the contemporary Chinese art circle, Hu does not follow paths treaded by others but forms his unique style on his solid foundation of traditional painting skills. He succeeds to infuse the charisma of the centuries old Chinese culture with the forceful expressions of the West by his brilliant matching of lines and colors in his paintings. By reflecting upon the traditional Chinese art from a modern perspective, Hu achieves a kind of individuality that carries a sense of modernity with uncommon oriental charm. In the last twenty years, Hu has held several dozens of solo exhibitions in Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Hong Kong, Chicago, Los Angeles, Taos in New Mexico, Tokyo, Leverkusen in Germany, Singapore as well as many other countries. He has also participated in numerous large-scale art expositions in China, Hong Kong, etc. He has won many prizes. Quite a number of his works are in the collections of the China Art Gallery, Shanghai Art Gallery, Hong Kong Museum of Art and many other established art institutions as well as private collectors. His works are published in his solo albums.Hu has formed his own personal style by mixing oriental arts with western arts to express the traditional Chinese culture and his paintings are characterized by his passion for the native place and history. The emotion and rhythm of his works are full of artistic appeal.
