Jennifer Huang is a Melbourne-based contemporary painter, whose practice is heavily inspired by Chinese visual culture and the European Old Masters. Predominantly an oil painter, Huang’s works possess a palpable tenderness, often created through a muted colour palette and soft ambient light.
In ‘Offering of Plums and Persimmons,’ Huang paints a still life scene on a unique circular canvas. Alongside the subdued colour palette, the softness of the work is exemplified through the choice of objects - flowers, fruits and fine crockery. The shape of the canvas creates a sense of intimacy, as the viewer almost feels as though they are looking through a peephole or window into the scene. ‘Offering of Plums and Persimmons’ is an intimate piece representative of Huang’s strong command of composition and ability to create atmosphere.
Huang is both an artist and educator, having studied at the Rob Gutteridge School of Classical Realism and Studio Escalier in France, as well as teaching painting and drawing classes at Victorian Artists Society in Melbourne. She has been a finalist in numerous art prizes, including the Naked & Nude Art Prize, the A.M.E Bale Travelling Scholarship and Art Prize and the Acland St Traders People Award Winner for the annual Linden Postcard Show at Linden New Art.
