Magic paintbrush

The Magic of Thinking, Hua Qing's solo exhibition, displays his latest creations that include oil paintings, sculptures and installations.

Grouped under the theme, "I think therefore I am", the works feature personified images of animals.

The main figure in Hua's works is the chimpanzee. In Looking up the Sky, a chimpanzee sits in front of a blackboard, on which complicated mathematical formulae are written. Wearing a thoughtful expression on its face, the animal looks like a wise man pondering life's realities.
