Hu Zeqian: New Century Garden - Public Reception

New Century Garden presents the work of Chinese artist Hu Zeqian, who now lives and works in Washington, D.C. For Hu, painting is not merely technical but deeply personal, reflecting the complexity of human experience. His use of vivid color, often associated with joy and prosperity, carries layered meaning, evoking both beauty and unease, much like the warning signals found in nature. Through balancing visual allure with conceptual depth, Hu’s paintings reveal that beneath beauty also lies complexity.
