Xueyang Hu (Bess) is a multidisciplinary visual artist with a focus on painting. Her works reference the intersection between sensation and emotional touch, seclusion and corporeal desire, as well as the unconscious and irrational dimensions of human existence. Her practice is also concerned with applying diverse mediums and materials to realize textural possibilities. As to the methodology of creation, she explores the poetics of imagery formed by the combining of content, colour, composition and other possible constituent elements, trying to find a balance and fusion of expression and experimentation.
