A key figure in the emergence of the contemporary art scene in mainland China, Huang Rui was a founding member of the avant-garde ‘Stars’ group, active from 1979 to 1983; and co-published the radical, literary journal Today from 1978. In his experimentations in abstraction, Huang’s practice encompasses painting, the printed word, collage, photography and performance. "Wild Children", the name of the exhibition currently showing at S|2 London, is taken from Huang Rui's term of affection for his artworks which he sees as disparate children sent out into the world.
