"From the very beginning, I made a rough screenshot of a transformer robot called Tiger King from a Chinese transformer comic episode named Robo Warriors: The Adventures of Luo Luo. There's a line he used to say-你放屁 (Chinese characters), which means "You Bullshit" in English-spoken in his robotic, deep voice but yelled in a slow and comically dumb manner.
At the same time, I was thinking about the fundamental mechanics of color mixing with light as the carrier-specifically, how RGB displays blend colors. I experimented with using each RGB color to create a mosaic panel as a mask in a digital painting layer system, overlapping these RGB layers to simulate physical color blending based on viewing distance. This led me to imagine the microscopic world and the particle dimension, trying to envision how particles-the smallest units in the universe like photons and electrons-work together to create optical illusions and complete our perception of reality."

Hu Junzhuo, born in 1997 in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China, graduated from the Painting Program of Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts in 2020, studied Free Painting at Akademie der Bil- denden Künste Nürnberg in 2021, and then transferred to the Painting Program of Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg in 2022, and graduated from the Master's Program in 2024.
Personally dedicated to exploring the relationship between painting and image. With the consciousness of painting in the place where the image is generated, the recent work is trying to use electronic printing as a bridge to experiment the visual ontology of digital painting, digital image and physical paint- ing, and to try to explore the ontology of painting with the combination of digital and electronic technology.
