Huang: Painting in Motion

Brush turned on and frame in motion: Huang's new phase short circuits painting and the moving image. On display, canvases that arise from video sequences and returns of signs, alongside installations and archive materials that map the artist's transition towards a more experimental practice. It is not a question of "illustrating" cinema on the canvas, but of making the two languages ​​react: the image flows, is stratified, is stopped, repainted, relaunched in a loop until it becomes a dense surface, almost a skin of overlapping times. The video is not a support but a counterpoint, while painting is analogue editing, a gesture that assembles and disassembles the flow. The archive - notes, frames, evidence - returns the laboratory of this transition, where each level remains visible as in an open chronology. “I'm not sure what painting will become in the end, but continue to paint intensely on the images that continually accumulate...”, confides Huang - a mantra that here becomes a method, and perhaps, a new definition of painting.
