Tianyu Huang’s practice is grounded in a perceptual structure that oscillates between the “inner” and the “outer.” Motifs such as windows and the body point to interfaces of seeing, while formal strategies of symmetry, radiation, and encirclement probe the relationship between order and generation. Within these images, the cycles of plants, the metamorphosis and flight of insects, and the spiral and enclosure of shells function as temporal and morphological codes of the non-human world, translated into structural rhythms on the pictorial plane. Rather than narrative representation, the works distill and reconfigure perceptual experience—an ongoing condition that unfolds in the interstice, suspended between stasis and flow.
