Huang Gang makes use of the freest forms of expression in his works, embodying the profound ideas of eastern aesthetics. He has deftly combined China's great craft traditions with the free expression of modern Western painting, adapting installation and collage techniques and applying large amounts of readymade objects and installation elements into his paintings. In this way, old, strongly spiritual materials, such as old Buddhist sutra woodcuts, antique Tibetan leather chests and ancient textiles are elevated to a new spiritual level, forming a unique and personal artistic language.

Owing to such factors as history and the art market environment, the influence of Western colonialism has yet to fade from the academic field of contemporary Chinese art. As an artist, Huang Gang has faced immense challenges. He has drawn from profound explorations of culture to form his own unique artistic style. Through the powerful visual language of his painting, the Oriental spirit has been restored to its former glory.
