Huang received his BA, MA and PhD in Chinese literature from Peking University in the 1980s and 90s and moved to the US in 1993, where he earned a second PhD at UCLA.

He has published poetry and books about contemporary Chinese literature, besides articles on and translations of contemporary Chinese poetry in English language journals, introducing modern Chinese poetry to Western audiences. In 2011 he guest-edited “The China Issue” for the Hong Kong based English language online journal Cha, introducing contemporary Chinese poetry and art. And in 2012 he won the 20th Rou Gang Poetry Prize in China. 

Speaking about the exhibition, Huang says that the artists and artworks are innovative each in their own right and shed further light on a wide range of themes, including landscape traditions in the East and West.

For example, two pieces by Wu Yi, one of the exhibited artists, depict landscapes in China and in upstate New York respectively, presenting an unceasing quest for origins and purposes beyond borders, and demonstrating his masterly, energetic and assertive, and highly personalized brushwork, Huang said.
