Since 1998, Sang Huoyao has persistently pursued the contemporary and international exploration of Chinese ink art. Grounded in his own creative practice, he integrates Lao-Zhuang philosophy, Tang Dynasty's jingxiang (境象) aesthetics, and a unique perception of contemporary reality, seeking metaphysical spiritual pursuits. Over time, he has developed a methodology of layered square structures and the artistic concept of Jingxiangism, constructing his own distinctive artistic language and symbolic system. His works are held in major public collections, including: National Art Museum of China (Beijing), Today Art Museum (Beijing), Long Museum (Shanghai), Singapore Contemporary Art Museum (Singapore), Huawei Art Fund (Shenzhen), Louis Vuitton (France), Shanghai Art Museum (Shanghai), Guangdong Museum of Art (Guangzhou), Shandong Art Museum (Jinan), Zhejiang Art Museum (Hangzhou), Ningbo Art Museum (Ningbo)…Additionally, his works have been permanently collected and displayed at: The main venue of the G20 Hangzhou Summit (China), The main venue of the Shanghai Import Expo, The Shanghai World Meeting Hall.
