Bu Hua
Bu  Hua,  Digital  artist,  was  born  in  1973  and  is  currently  living  and  working  in  Beijing,  China.  In  1995  she  graduated  with  a  BFA  from  the  Institute  of  Fine  Art,  Tsinghua  University,  Beijing  and  in  1998  she  graduated  the  short  study  from  the  Hogeschool  voor  de  Kunsten,  Academie  voor  Beeldende,  Vorming.  Bu  Hua  is  a  leading  artist  of  the   'Jelly  Time '  exhibition  and  a  classic  genre-bender,  whose  flash  animation   "Cat "  went  viral  and  swept  animation  awards  in  China.  Today,  whether  in  digital  graphics,  illustration,  oil  painting  or  animation,  her  unique  artistic  vocabulary  and  style  have  brought  her  extraordinary  success.  Her  work  is  remarkable  not  only  for  a  sense  of  visual  joy,  but  for  the  way  it  touches  the  modern  souls.  Her  extravagantly  imaginative  compositions  and  rich  colors  liberate  the  modern  imagination,  communicating  her  own  boundless  sense  of  fancy  and  the  crystal  pure  dreams  of  young  women.  

Bu  Hua  is  one  of  the  talented  digital  artists  who  gains  their  initial  reputation  from  internet  in  teh  21s  century.  The  work  she  created,  either  animation  artwork  Cat  that  was  downloaded  over  a  million  times  from  the  internet,  or  Savage  Growth,  which  was  exhibited  in  Shanghai  Biennale  and  contributed  to  her  award  of  the  international  new  youth  media  artist,  builds  up  a  magic  virtual  world.  The  world  that  has  been  carefully  constructed,  is  filled  with  competitions  between  a  large  number  of  buildings  and  group  of  odd  species,  and  is  constantly  shifting  over  the  two  opposite  extremes.  On  one  hand,  the  virtual  world  presents  us  a  paradise  full  of  luxury  goods  and  gorgeous  Chinese  style  architectures,  on  the  other  hand,  the  black  sky  as  a  background  tune  signals  an  anti-Utopia  scene  in  industrialized  China.  The  images  in  Buhua 's  work  are  all  dark  sided,  the   "ostrich "  looks  like  male  genitalia,  KFC  papa  watches  the  Chinese  acrobats  playing  on  a  tiger 's  back;  a  monster  with  green  leaves  dances  with  electronic  music.  In  2010,  the  Shanghai  EXPO  committee  invited  her  to  create  an  animation  film  for  a  400  square  meters  LED  screen  in  Future  Hall,  one  of  the  5  main  halls.  Her  latest  work  ,  LV  forest,  tells  different  aspects  of  intriguing  relationships  in  current  society.  The  work  reveals  her  concern  for  the  shallow  materialism  girls  in  city  life  aspire  to  and  satirizes  males  with  unlimited  desires.
