Education & Background
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.
Had a major sell-out solo exhibition at Jasmine Fine Arts in Singapore and Art Futures Group in 2013.
Had an important solo exhibition “The Peony Pavilion” at Today’s Art Museum, Beijing in May 2013.
Has held over 9 solo exhibitions and 10 group exhibitions internationally such as Jakarta, Singapore, Taiwan, etc.
Has an auction record of US$4,107.6 set at Poly International Auction house in Beijing in 2010.
