Peng Huang


Peng (1998) is a Chinese printmaker who studied at the China Academy of Art and pursued his MA at the Royal College of Art. He currently resides in London and focuses on creating emotional connections through the use of specific objects to link different times and spaces in his artwork. This approach results in a deep and meaningful interaction within the images.

Peng has participated in many local projects such as being selected for the Royal Society of British Artist (RBA) RISING STARS Exhibition and being a semi-finalist for the 2023 RBA Rome Scholarship.

These special objects can deepen the connection of the intimate partner through imagery, in different places and times.


I rely on emotional relationships to keep myself balanced. Additionally, I am attuned to the things that foster emotional relationships and the specific objects that have personal significance. These things can sometimes be combined with intimacy to create optical illusions that deepen the connection of the intimate partner through imagery, in different places and times.


When it comes to building intimate relationships across different periods and locations, I often contemplate the contradiction between emotions and reality. I find myself falling into the consciousness of artistic creation and how our unconscious emotions are tied to our everyday lives. My approach involves exploring the dynamics between myself and my partner in various intimate relationships on a virtual screen and striking a balance between rational artistic methods and the irrational creative process. My primary focus is on etching, which allows me to visually capture the emotional interactions between individuals through a rational creative approach. However, I also aim to push the boundaries of traditional techniques by incorporating Maurits Cornelis Escher's plane optical illusion and perspective language, challenging the audience's perception of reality through print.

Sick love
Intimate RelationshipIn an intimate relationship, how do we overcome jet lag, how to balance study and companionship, and how do we calm down misunderstandings and quarrels caused by jet lag. This work draws elements from Wilde's work "Salome" to express my mood and state in this relationship.
