Bess Xueyang Hu was born in 1998 in Hunan, China, and currently lives and works in Melbourne. As an emerging visual artist, she works with diverse media but with a focus on painting. Through inner experience and symbolist imagination, she tries to translate some unnamed and covert feelings or emotions into a visual form with the primacy of expression and the act of painting itself. In this process, she seeks for spontaneous thoughts and freedom of expression. Her practice also entails applying various materials to realise textural possibilities to enliven and strengthen the painterly surfaces, experimenting with different painting techniques and processes. She is interested in exploring the poetics of imagery formed by figure, colour, composition and texture, trying to find a balance and fusion of expression, experimentation and resolution.
