Alexa Huang is a Chinese-born, New York-based visual artist working across painting, drawing, and mixed media installation. Her practice investigates the porous boundaries between material and meaning, language and abstraction, presence and erosion. Drawing inspiration from Chinese literati traditions, Daoist philosophy, and contemporary conceptualism, her work frequently engages with geological metaphors, natural entropy, and the visual poetics of transformation. Her compositions—layered with rice paper, marble dust, ink, and acrylic—often hover between landscape and object, mark and scar, reflecting both internal terrain and external time.

Huang received her MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art (2025), where she was awarded the Keny Scarf Scholar Award and the Academy Scholar Award. She holds a dual BA in Economics and Music from Colby College, and has studied at the Art Students League of New York under a merit scholarship.

Her recent body of work, Fortuitous Form, draws from the study of Taihu stones (scholar’s rocks) and classical shan shui (mountain-water) aesthetics, exploring chance-based processes as a way of constructing visual memory and metaphysical space.

She has exhibited in both institutional and independent venues, including: New York Academy of Art, Sotheby’s Institute of Art, Galerie Shibumi, ASpace Gallery.
