​ABOUT

Xiaorui Huang is a Chinese human rights and social commentary artist based in New York. In 2012, she moved to Ipswich, England, where she attended St Joseph’s College and pursued her degree in Fine Art. After moving to New York, she earned her B.F.A. and later completed her M.F.A. at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in 2023.

Since Spring 2019, Huang has taught painting at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (CUNY), first as a supplemental instructor and, beginning in fall 2023, as an Adjunct Assistant Professor. In early 2024, she joined the Bowery Gallery in Chelsea, NY, becoming an exhibiting artist member.

Huang’s artistic practice addresses contemporary human rights issues and social justice. She focuses on themes such as children with disabilities, Asian feminism, and political resistance, addressing equality movements within Asian society and beyond. Her recent work combines vigorous brushwork and mixed media with a direct engagement with personal and collective stories, integrating children’s drawings into her compositions to question tradition and highlight marginalized voices.

Her paintings have been featured in solo exhibitions at the Walter & Joan Hobbs Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Uniondale Public Library, and the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library in New York. She has also participated in group exhibitions at venues including the Bowery gallery, Shirley Fiterman Art Center, Powerhouse Art and Theatre 1 Breezeway Gallery in New York; the Saatchi Gallery, Holy Art Gallery in London; Las Laguna Art Gallery in Laguna Beach, CA; Teravarna Art Gallery in California; Camelback Gallery’s virtual programs in Arizona.
