Having been friends for a long time, when Hui Xin asked me to write something for him, I was most happy to do so.? It was only when I came to take up my pen that I realised the difficulty in writing about other people.? Luckily ever since we were students our work has been pushed onwards with innumerable drunken nights and long discussions.? You could say we know each other through and through; perhaps that��s why I feel confident in my basis for writing this essay.?
The pinnacle of Hui Xin��s creativity is full of something similar to the experience of an older generation of academic artists.? He is deeply enamored with certain of his tools and materials and the joy of using them, and the pure aesthetic of physical pleasure derived from them.? As for this man who is not deeply concerned with modernism or the contemporary aspects of his art works, if it were not for the environment that surrounds him, I��m sure he would become nothing but an average artist working in spray paint from the Academy.??
What is interesting is that what is an apparent deficiency does not make Hui Xin��s work fall into the monotonous methodology that produces the boring game of producing pictures.? Rather it makes him lose interest in playing games with language or manipulating form, putting his whole attention into considering his choices and construction of the picture.? This is the change and direction that has appeared in Hui Xin��s works from 2003 onwards.? In his early works there was something like a dream world, with fish as his subject, up until the present he works with building a collage of certain traditional and folk art images, it is not the simple fact of his running out of ideas and changing theme, what it really shows is that his methodology has undergone certain changes.
Of primary importance is that, compared with other artists who utilize ready-made images in their creative process, from the start Hui Xin��s paintings have demonstrated a non-painting language in his unique work method.? Spray painting, as a technical method, lends the characteristics of coolness and a mechanical feel to the canvas.? From his starting point, he simulates the production of images that is particular to the digital age.? Unlike many of his contemporaries that have been inspired by Gerhard Richter, spiritually Hui Xin comes closer to the realism of early photography.? He never tires of the joy to be found in this non-classical aesthetic mode of work.? That is why I imagine he cannot become merely an academically excellent artist.???????
Following the conclusion of his first ever solo exhibition in 2004, Hui Xin began to consider the development of his own work.? Aided by external sources in his search, he saw the possibilities and capacity present in Pop art.? More crucial was that he managed to find a mother tongue that grew out of his own inner feelings.? This kind of idea combined together with the ripeness of his pleasure in pure aesthetic joy and the ��folk knowledge�� that I so often tease Hui Xin in saying he is rich in.? This ��folk knowledge�� is his sensitivity to the details of secular life and its practices that I am totally lacking in myself.? Which includes a grasp and love of the interest in consumerism in secular culture.? Only in this way will we discover in his following works, that Hui Xin developed an interest in the complexities of what is considered beautiful.? The previously pure aesthetic pleasure has been reinforced by an almost prejudiced attitude.? The previously singular ambiguous information in his paintings has been replaced by multiple heterogeneous images combined together and compressed into a dense pattern on the plane surface.? Graceful images from classical paintings and the bright colours of folk art have been harmonized by a decorative ethos that allows their originally conflicting aspects to settle together in harmony.? The quiet images romp merrily together.? Even at first glance, in his choice of source material, Hui Xin��s works have a certain connection with the ��Glamourous Secular�� art of the nineties.? However what we ought to notice is that those coming after that period take on these principles with deliberation, making use of the tactics of the traditional and folk aesthetic, which goes to some extent to reject and overturn that very aesthetic itself.? By contrast, in Hui Xin��s works we see no provocative or subversive attitude, but a vigorous desire to establish a new kind of aesthetic.? With this as his aim, creating the strong sense of the Oriental that is present in his choice of image and composition, when compared with certain peddlers of China-culture, would seem the more natural choice of a young artist who has grown up in China.? You could say it was ��Chinese all over��.? That is to say not questioning the depth of Chinese cultural resources, not deliberately selling them, but rather through a wider perspective, making efforts to establish a lively and receptive independent cultural system.??????????????
Therefore, as an artist born in 1977, Hui Xin provides us with a unique case.? He not only presents a different direction in artistic values to those who came before him, but at the same time speaks out against the loss of technique and the general trends amongst other young artists, providing a different solution.? Behind the canvasses full of brilliant softness, rich and crystalline, or rich in different tastes, I think what is most important is the establishment and development of an artist and his own method of work.
Naturally, it is possible that my scribblings about his work are like the judgments of the three blind men sizing up an elephant, only focusing on parts and rather lacking in interest.? With Hui Xin, art is perhaps only a kind of aesthetic and nothing more.

Preface
Hui Xin utilizes a technique that brings his work close to popular advertisements.? Whether it be the effect of composition, form, texture and colour, the end result is something that looks computerized, full of a post-industrial feel.? The dancing cranes, shady bamboo thickets, dragons in rosy clouds �C these classical images of Oriental origin have been chosen by the artist and placed in a surrealist setting, as if he were rearrange the world to suit himself.? Hui Xin always seeks to produce a joyful and beautiful image for his audience in his artwork.? He layers secular visual impressions of ��Beauty�� together in his work, the sensual pleasure one feels before the startling visual effects is stimulating in a way akin to modern culture itself.? We may be certain that popular mass culture has indeed had its effects on the younger generation of artists and their demands to experience an aesthetically pleasing life.? They prefer to use a direct approach, a more casual form to experience and manifest their experience of life.
I have joked with Hui Xin, saying ��You are the only true ��glamour�� artist, you represent the traditional forms of popular culture with splendid style.��? Hui Xin��s composition of his pictures is different to the work of any other artist included in the term ��glamour�� art.? What is emphasized in Hui Xin��s works is the experience of the images jumping off the canvas; it is free from the piling up of any ideas of political and cultural significance.? He prefers to use a simple form to make his observations about traditional images in a modern context.? These classic symbols of Oriental culture have been stylized in Hui Xin��s paintings.? In his work we can see that a picture can be far and away from the basic idea of a painting.? This results in a deliberate arrangement, with a distinct feeling of ��design��.? There is an underlying similarity here with the works of American artist Jeff Koons.? The possibilities of painting are expanded, the rebirth and re-enactment that the artist brings to the traditional image is full of the standards and techniques of that tradition.? The canvas is nothing more than an information media, a carrier for his demands of the traditional painting techniques that he only appears to overlook.? From being designed on a computer, to the print-out, to the final painting of the picture �C what may seem to us to be work as monotonous as that on a production line, affords the artist considerable pleasure.? The artist is given the opportunity to act as a designer too.? Such a novel work ethic has already become relatively common amongst the young generation of artists.
In Hui Xin��s works we see the appearance of a unique contemporary visual form, which turns the painted picture another carrier of the public image.? Hui Xin��s paintings utilize a ��Western�� form of representation to release/translate the ��Eastern�� aesthetic world.? A Beauty that is more ��glamorous�� and more ��secular��, which is precisely what is exciting about his artwork.
