Inspired by clouds and nature, 1000 Breaths is an interactive wind choreographic piece that interacts with nature and will transcend visitors from the daily hustle into
cloud-like landscapes. It is not just about looking at the installation, but letting it surround you, envelop you, to become part of it, and that it becomes part of you,
passively and actively, following our own capacities of observation and reflection.

人间失格 solo painting exhibition

Xixi Creative Industrial Park, Hangzhou, China
Michel Foucault, in his article Le Corps Utopique, regards body as the opposite of Utopia and all utopias exist through opposing it. This secret message
seems to be decrypted long before by the young painter, Jing X Hu, who puts the theory into practice by her painting series No longer Human.

AMOROUS DELINEATIONS
July 10 – August 9, 2014
THE INVISIBLE LINE Gallery, London, United Kingdom
Order is a perceived notion, it is seeked but never truly achieved as nature and life depend on change and movement. Much like weeds growing out of concrete,
wherever we establish a sense of form and confinement, we are bound to face its erosion, seduced by alien dispositions. In Amorous Delineations, the artists look
to discern, digest, and delineate the complexities of their surroundings into clear structures and refined compositions. While Jing Hu’s chaos becomes a harmonious
dialogue between bright colours and free-floating lines, Albert Ruiz uses space and geometry with a beautifully tamed configuration. Oskar Glemme, on the other
hand, steps back to look at human isolation in a magnetic study of light, landscape, and people. And finally, Victoria breaks down everyday objects, signs and human
interactions into infographical designs and semiotic instructions to show the elusive nature of things.

NeeHao Magazine article: Maybe This World is Another Planet’s Hell exhibition
13th May 2014
"Jing Hu is an artist who examines ideas around flux, migration, urban-life with aesthetic codes as markers of identity and aspirations. She was born in China, grew up
in Singapore and has lived in a few different countries. Art has been her visual journal depicting disparate elements in my life inspired by specific people and places."

Maybe This World is Another Planet's Hell Solo Exhibition
13th May 2014
THE GALLERY, Anatomy Museum - London, UK
Hu's paintings represent imaginary landscapes that mirror and document a perception of her real life environment. In doing so, she is also hoping to speak more
broadly to the lost social and cultural information for generations of Chinese who has been spending most of their life drifting abroad. She conceives the unstable
and fragile equilibrium of diverse and seemingly random textures, shapes, marks, images and references and their interaction with one another in her work, a realistic
likeness to cosmopolitan human society.

Between You and The Uncomfortable Familiar
8th May 2014
THE GALLERY, Anatomy Museum - London, UK
Curated by: Jing X Hu
Artists: Kanako Uchimura, Frangi Chandler, HeeJu Lee, Jing X Hu
Identity spans many areas, the main ones being culture and ethnicity which is based on where one grows up or which country one calls home. Can
one simply return ‘home’ after living in another country? Is it the same ‘home; that was once left behind?

Indulge Me
23rd Feb 2014
THE GALLERY, C-Space - Beijing (CHINA)
"The ‘Indulge Me’ painting series revolves around the theme of compulsive pleasure seeking and the human propensity for addiction. It depict an impression
of decadent sickness from gilded excess. Hu is interested in creating disquieting themes concerning an internal sense of self and decay. In her mind, stories and
imageries always contain some sort of calamity.
Curated by Wang Xin.

ArtGemini Prize
17th Febuary 2014
Public Choice Prize and Highly Recommended painting
“East Asia’s painterly tradition is in evidence in this painstakingly executed perfect watercolour.
Hu exploits to the hilt the privileged duality of her East Asian background, its hardwired artistic tradition topped up with further Western training,
delivering her inspiring imagery and its richly mysterious storytelling with aesthetic panache.”
