Born in Sichuan, 1983, Hu Yinping currently lives and works in Beijing. Despite earning her MFA at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2010, she doesn‘t limit her works to the materiality of sculpture, but channels chance encounters and fortuitous situations into insightful scenarios. Hu defines her art as a state between “event" and “work”, implying a deep connection between artistic practice and real life. She often labels the medium of her works as “event” and these works usually last for a period of time or are even ongoing. Such practices can be traced back to the three art groups she initiated after obtaining her MFA.

Major solo exhibitions include: “Hu Yinping: Weaving Realities” (McaM, Shanghai, 2022); “White, Andre” (PLATESPACE, Beijing, 2020); “Snowy White Dove” (Arrow Factory, Beijing, 2018); “Tourist” (IAER, Venice, 2017); “Xiaofang” (Arrow Factory Space, Beijing, 2016); “Thank You” (Space 3, Chengdu, 2016); “Identity” (Mocube, Beijing, 2016); “Born Savage” (Heiqiao, Beijing, 2016).
