Taking inspirations from Fauvism, Cubism, folk art and traditional Chinese painting, Hu Yongkai's voluptuous women set against traditional Chinese gardens or architecture, represent the dialogue he makes between classicism and modernism, varying techniques of the West and the East, and different cultures. The artist's biography is included.



胡永凱從野獸派、立體派、民間藝術和中國傳統繪畫汲取靈感,他筆下體態豐腴的女性常徘徊於傳統園林或亭臺樓閣之間,展示了畫家對古典派、現代派、東西方技法和各地文化兼收並蓄的成果。本圖錄亦載有藝術家的簡歷。
