In 2002, Huang Rui moved to Beijing where he became the backbone behind Beijing's Factory 798 art's district where galleries, artist's atelier and performances now vibrate into a rich cultural exchange that is being talked about and oscillates worldwide. Huang Rui is a highly socially engaged artist who incorporates important political and historical references into his works, that include painting, installation, photography, and performance. He has a particular fascination with Chinese political slogans from the 1980s reform era, which, using tidy, controlled brushstrokes, are deliberately enlarged on stark white canvases. Nearly three decades since the formation of the Stars, and fifteen years since his return from self-exile in Japan, Huang Rui's works continue to be inextricably linked to the society that he lives in.
The present catalogue includes Huang's biography, a chronology of the artist's activities and key dates in Chinese history and art from 1976-1984.
