A rabbit serves as a mirror for complex human emotions in a print by Benrei Huang.

First seen in 2008, Nini is a recurring character in Huang’s work. The white rabbit has taken on a life of his own in surreal, pastel-hued vistas. In Minority Rules, Nini stands apart from a crowd of green bunnies.

Whether Nini is comfortable in his solitude or has been ostracised by the warren is left open to interpretation. As her practice has evolved, Huang has stopped explaining her paintings – “a lot of my viewers have projected their own life experiences into my works, a vivid reflection of their life and on-the-spot emotions.”

An edition of archival pigment prints on etching paper maintain the soft storybook feel of the reference artwork. The delicate rendering is at once universally accessible and deeply personal to Huang’s life and practice.

Behind the scenes

Benrei Huang

1 collaboration

Benrei Huang reflects on life and emotions through paintings of her rabbit figure, Nini. Nini embodies Huang's thoughts on grief, love and existence. She portrays him looking fragile, with a neutral expression. Sometimes he plays the protagonist, at other times he’s a supporting role. Sometimes he’s a spotlit star on stage, other times he’s in love in the park, or swimming underwater in a dream. She combines her favourite motifs like flowers, umbrellas, and rolling landscapes with acrylics in pastel colours. This, combined with her use of soft shading and rounded outlines, give her images a light, soothing atmosphere.
