Artists

Killion Huang

Press release

EDJI Gallery is pleased to announce Reflections, a solo exhibition of new works by Chinese artist Killion Huang. This will be Huang’s second solo exhibition with the gallery, featuring a series of paintings produced during a period of quiet introspection and personal evolution in 2024.

Killion Huang’s work explores the intersections of identity, self-perception, and queer experience through personal, intimate moments of everyday life. His new series of paintings navigates the boundaries between seeing and being seen, inviting viewers into a delicate dialogue between self-reflection and the outward gaze. These works mark a significant development in Huang’s practice, coinciding with a move to a new studio space, where newfound solitude and quiet introspection allowed the artist to delve deeper into his own identity and representation.

Through this new body of work, Huang emphasizes the mirror not simply as a reflective surface, but as a portal into the complexities of selfhood. His figures are depicted in moments of solitude, captured within the quiet rituals of daily life—whether dressing in their bedrooms, contemplating urban landscapes, or gazing into the eyes of another. Each scene carries a tangible tension, questioning the boundaries of gender, desire, and how queerness is perceived both in private and public spaces.
