Hou Qing
Chinese, b. 1969
Hou Qing integrates Western and Chinese culture in his paintings under the influences of traditional Confucianism and Taoism. The “figure” theme began after his “lotus” theme when Hou wanted to create portraits that created eroticism through the beauty of women. Hou sees his work as an atmosphere from the woman's state or living condition, expressing people's feelings for desire especially during the country's past revolutions and history.
