Tianai Hu

Tianai Hu, from China (b.1997), currently lives and works in London. She graduated from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2019 and from the Royal College of Art in 2022.

Tianai Hu likes to mix soft, slippery and sloppy materials with hard, transparent and shiny ones, creating contradictions and finding balance, obsessing over unstable materials that are constantly changing in time and space, using them to constantly portray emotions.

In my works, there is always family, emotion and fantasy, and the self-contradiction and rebellion that life has brought to me. I'm fascinated by overly decorative and absurd but quiet images, I like to use a variety of materials to create eccentric paintings and sculptures and in this way put my emotions on strongly.
