A visual artist, he holds a baccalaureate degree in Painting from the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute, Chongqing, China, 2010. Tao works with graphic arts, painting, video, object and installation. In his work, he resorts to technological procedures and elements from Chinese tradition, mostly harking back to his childhood in inland China, to question notions of globalization, virtual relationships and hegemonic thinking. The coexistence of different time periods and cultures, of urban settings and rural living – typical of the Chinese context, where tradition and progress expire and reinvent themselves – is a staple of his work. He has been featured in exhibitions such as Où vas-tu, Espace des Arts Sans Frontières, Paris (2014); Positive Space, Times Museum, Guangzhou, China (2014), Leap Video Project, Hong Kong, China (2013); The Worst Show, Gland, Beijing, China (2012); WuSi Youth Art Festivals, Beijing, China (2011); and others. Hui Tao lives and works in Beijing.
