Qiren Hu

Hu Qiren is a Photography and Digital Imaging graduate from the School of Art, Design and Media, Nanyang Technological University of Singapore. Being a contemporary artist who works primarily with the photographic medium, he views his works as a form of communication on recurring themes of culture and tradition. Greatly influenced by his former training in architecture, Qiren’s works experiments with formal compositions and juxtapositions between images old and new. More recently, he has started on a long-term project using the traditional practice of Chinese Face-Reading as a narration tool to explore the profound relationship between humanity’s inquiry into the metaphysical dimensions of life and its artistic manifestation.
