The Last Penguin
This series by Vincent J.F. Huang denote the analogy between the endangered penguins and the Terracotta Army that was buried together with the late Qin Emperor. Both were the sacrifies of the human civilisation. Mankind has always endeavored to create a better life through science and technology. However, their insatiable demand for fossil oil has since damaged the environment and brought about calamities into earth. Environmental organizations estimate that the number of penguin species has been reduced by 70% owing to melting of their habitats caused by global warming. It is this sentiment that inspired Vincent to portrait penguin in his newest series of "The Last Penguin". Beside paintings of icy penguins in Terracotta Army attire, Vincent has also created a series of sculptures to reproduce the grandeur in 3D.

This is not Chinese Landscape

Vincent J.F. Huang - The artist's aspiration is to establish a univeral dialogue by revealing traits of his intimate obsessions. The human being, though invisible, is at the core of all his work. Modesty. Tenderness. Intuition. Rebellion too. But also hope entangled in the net of forecasts of catastrophe. It is on the canvas, in his sculptures and his installations, through the precise contour of these shapes, that Vincent expresses the essence of his feelings.
