STATEMENT
"Grace Huang is an artist of exceptional insightfulness who communicates her ideas with rare subtlety and superb technical command. Drawing upon and cleverly invert traditions of landscape, Huang's distillations of time and space, light texture and colour seem to fill the senses. Gently teased by their deceptive clarity of purpose, the viewer is drawn more deeply into her empathetic meditations on the human experience. Her studies ask us to re-view that which we might regard as commonplace, to search for the greater meanings of every day, the extraordinary of the ordinary.
Beauty of surface and Huang's generosity of spirit imbue her subjects with dignity that defies mawkishness. To Huang, urban landscapes are not places of bleak desolation, but places inscribed with life's richness and endlessly overlapping meanings, the interweaving of private and public moments, occurrences, presences and memories. We feel the abstractions of time. Huang's days roll into nights break and down into moments of loss, of waiting, of remembering, of hoping, of watching, of wanting."

"Art is a way for me to express my thoughts and emotions. I have long been attempting to understand the silent dimensions underlying our world and senses since I studied at the art academy. I seek to know the innermost origins of thought and space, fascinated that all forms and colours are born of thought, and that thought returns to create new forms and colours, as life begets life.
The concept of the body of work is about capturing the subject matters for art and reality to explore the subtleties of meaning in everyday life. The abundance of themes included conceptual thinking and the unique compositions that come from my point of view, which I have been seeking and developing for many years. I always like to choose the subject matter with a unique observation point of view when I am inspired to work on a new painting. To break the rules from conventional thinking, in this way, the creativity of art will not be constrained. I get involved in the time and space of the in-depth exploration, searching the possibilities of a variety of infinite, which constitute a unique expression, redefine the concept of all my painting motives.
I realised that in the real world, what we see is not necessarily the facts. So I aim to deliver my statement to the audience who participate and inspire their imagination. I think, to a certain extent, we have explored the art world from different perspectives."
