I learned calligraphy and poetry from my grandfather since I was a child. In 1994, his calligraphy work "Creating all things without intention, dealing with the five turbidities but being cold" won the World Peace Literary Award and the "Baoding Peace Medal". In the 1980s, many calligraphy works were collected by Japanese political and financial circles. In the 1990s, many outstanding calligraphy works were collected by Zhongnanhai, Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and the Great Hall of the People.
In the early 1990s, he began to turn to the research and creation of modern painting. Bold attempts have been made from abstract aesthetics to specific techniques and media. As an artist, Hu Hong has proven with his works that Chinese ink is an expressive medium that can transcend traditional brush and ink techniques and has modern capabilities. Hu Hong's modern paintings, rich in oriental charm and in line with Western vision, have received widespread attention and have been collected by many European and American political dignitaries. He used the expression form of cursive script and integrated it into modern painting, which has wonderful special effects. The dots, lines and surfaces in calligraphy are once again brought into extraordinary use, which is called "crazy fission" in the industry, which is particularly valuable! In 2002, the World Economic Forum set important works in the "Fission Series" as its masthead. It represents today's art trends.
The shooting massacre at Virginia Tech in the United States that shocked the world on April 16, 2007 had a great impact. Hu Hong composed "The Return of the Soul" with full of regret and donated it to the school as a memorial. For permanent collection. In September 2013, the U.S.-China Traditional Culture Promotion Association came to Beijing to award him the "Cultural Ambassador Award."
In October 2007, he participated in the 15th Asian Artists Exhibition in New York. At the same time, the Hu Hong Modern Painting Exhibition was held in Manhattan. During his stay in the United States, he created a large number of paintings; reproduced from a new perspective. It captures the regional culture of the United States at all levels, such as "Las Vegas Night View", "Grand Canyon Range Rover", "Glimpses of Casino", "Long Island Style", "New York Impressions", "Flushing Town", "Manhattan Easter" ", "Statue of Liberty", "City Hall", "New York Subway", "Centennial Beer House", "9.11 Memorial Site", "Washington Street" and a series of modern paintings with far-reaching significance, and formed his own unique New vision, presented to the world.
