Xingxin Hu

Xingxin Hu (b. 1988, Hunan, China) is a London-based figurative and still-life painter. Her artworks draw from personal archives—real experiences or second-hand. She depicts subjects that often feature the female body and everyday objects, imbued with a sense of intimacy or monumentality. Through this, she explores her feminine identity—its forms, innate essence, and the inevitable traces of societal shaping, as well as the negotiation between female self-perception and social expectations, tracing the desire, alienation, and unease that linger in between. 

She earned an MA in Fine Art: Painting from Camberwell College of Arts, UAL (2023) and a Bachelor of Law from the Communication University of China (2009). Her work has been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions at Twilight Contemporary, Vivienne Roberts Projects, Peter Von Kant Gallery, Leicester Gallery, Workplace, OHSH Projects, The Bomb Factory, YTHART Museum in Shanghai, Too Small Space in Beijing, Guardian Art Center, and more.
