Chinese American visual artist and film director
Andrew Thomas Huang is a Chinese American visual artist and film director[2] known for his music videos for artists Björk,[3] FKA twigs and Atoms for Peace.[4] In 2019, Huang was nominated for a Grammy for his music video for FKA twigs, “Cellophane.”[5] He is the grandson of the Chinese scholar and libertarian socialist activist Huang Wenshan.[6]
Huang grew up in a Christian household, which heavily influenced his vulnerability on open queer expression and self-identity[7]. He cites his religious upbringing as a motive for investigating spirituality in tandem with personal and sexual experiences[8].
He first began drawing and creating puppets from a young age, which sparked his interest in the arts[9].
Huang graduated with a degree in Fine Art and Animation from the University of Southern California.[11]
In 2005, Huang’s short film “Doll Face” gained hundreds of thousands of views of Youtube, launching his career[12]. Following the success of the video, Huang was invited to the Google Creator Summit[13].
His films and videos have been commissioned by and exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, NYC;[14] MoMA PS1;[15] The Sydney Opera House, Sydney;[16] and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.[17]
Huang has collaborated with the Bjork many times after catching the artist’s attention through “Solipsist”, a video uploaded on Vimeo.[18] He collaborated with her to creatively direct her immersive VR exhibition Bjork Digital. This also catalyzed him to start working on music videos for various well known artists[19].
With his strength in world-building, Huang continues his foray into narrative with his first feature film Tiger Girl which has received support from Sundance[20] and Film Independent.[21] His narrative short “Kiss of the Rabbit God”[22] premiered at Tribeca Film Festival 2019.[23] “Kiss of the Rabbit God” was also his first film that addressed his Asian and queer identity[24].
Huang mainly mixes puppetry, visual effects, and animation to achieve his film aesthetics[25]. For photography and exhibitions, he has used 3D to mock his prosthetics and brought them to life through sculpture[26]. His work mainly touches upon themes of the Chinese-American and queer experience. Weaving in fantastical elements, Huang frequently references Chinese deities and spiritual iconography in his art[27].
