Biography
Hou Yijie (b. 1996, Chengdu, China) graduated from the Department of Printmaking at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. He currently lives and works in Chongqing.
Hou Yijie’s practice draws on the sensations and emotions of lived experience, dismantling and reassembling narratives from history, legend, and reality to create a field of tension between order and chaos. Through layering, fragmentation, and disruption, he destabilizes narratives, relationships between figures, and spatial structures. His paintings balance spontaneity with precision while retaining a sense of hesitation in the brushwork. Rawness, recklessness, and imbalance are integral to his visual language. Multiple temporalities, spaces, and identities intersect, opening up possibilities for interpretation.
