About ying huang

Ying Huang is a Chinese Manchurian-born Australian artist whose work crosses formats and media. Her work has been exhibited throughout Australia and in Hong Kong and Scotland.

Ying Huang ‘invented’ a political art movement which she has termed Polipanda or Political Pop Propaganda Art. Polipanda, a hybrid practice combining political propaganda art and Pop art, explores how history is manipulated through mass media images and challenges us to rethink notions of authenticity and originality.

Inspired by iconic images from film, photography and other cultural media, she recontextualises these images through her own lived experience of a negotiated cultural identity. Although often still recognisable, the images are unsettling, providing only a trace or imprint of their origins, their meaning altered and taking on a life of their own. Huang's work playful, rebellious, humorous, yet providing unflinching and unapologetic commentary on the world of mass media images in which we live.
