2019 Scottish Portrait Awards prize winner

LI HUANG is a Chinese-Scot painter with a deep interest in the human condition, as expressed through the human form. Huang looks for psychological elements outside of the paintings and is inspired by the Romantic artists in their use of metaphor to express strong emotions, as well as a means of evoking emotions in the viewer beyond pictorial aesthetics.

Huang looks to establish a psychological echo between the viewer and himself via eye contact between the figures in his paintings and the viewer.

A three times award winning Masters graduate of Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone and 2019 Scottish Portrait Awards prize winner, this is Huang’s first solo show, with an exhibit of portraits in oils, as well as supporting work in form of large sketches and sketchbooks.
