Huang Yong Ping (born 1954, Fujian, died 2019, France) graduated from the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou in 1982. In 1989, he emigrated to Paris, where he lived and worked until his death in 2019. Huang is best known for founding Xiamen Dada and for reworking architectural and animal forms into complex, provocative installations that challenge the viewer to reconsider art and national identity in recent history.
