huang yulong 黄玉龙

Huang Yulong (b.1983) graduated from the Sculpture Department of Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He is best known for his sculptures of the Faceless Man in a hoodie, which demonstrate the exchange of Eastern traditions and popular culture. Huang learnt sculpture in Jingdezhen, a city with a long history of producing Chinese porcelain for Chinese emperors and nobles. He studied traditional Chinese porcelain making techniques and tried to find his identity in his sculptures which he found found to be hip-pop. As an artist focuses on hip-pop and street art, Huang found it difficult to fit into the major art groups in Beijing where is the hub of art academics, and was unfamiliar with street art as a fine art discipline. The faceless man in the hoodie can be anyone. There are no norms, no cultural boundaries and definitions, as long as someone likes Huang Yulong’s sculpture, the identity of a faceless man in a hoodie is formed.

黄玉龙（1983年生）毕业于景德镇陶瓷学院雕塑系，获得美术学士学位。他以无脸男人穿连帽衫的雕塑而闻名，这些作品展示了东方传统与流行文化的交流。黄玉龙在景德镇学习雕塑，这是一个生产中国瓷器供应给中国皇帝和贵族的历史悠久的城市。他学习了传统的中国瓷器制作技术，并试图在自己的雕塑中找到自己的身份，他觉得自己是嘻哈文化的一部分。作为一个专注于嘻哈文化和街头艺术的艺术家，黄玉龙发现自己很难融入北京这个艺术学术中心的主要艺术团体，并且对街头艺术作为一门美术学科并不熟悉。连帽衫中的无脸男人可以是任何人。没有规范，没有文化边界和定义，只要有人喜欢黄玉龙的雕塑，一个穿连帽衫的无脸男人的身份就形成了。
