Huo (David, 1937 ~) is an English painter. Born in Bradford. Studied at the Royal Academy of Art .. Influenced by modernism, he created a large number of corrosive prints, among which "The Return of the Prodigal Son" was the most outstanding and attracted the attention of the art world. I traveled to America many times in 1960s and began to turn to realistic style. The representative works Christopher Ischwood and Don Bacardi and Mr. and Mrs. Clarks contain profound philosophies, which make people think endlessly. In 1970s, he taught at the University of Iowa and the University of California.

David Huo Nicole is undoubtedly one of the most influential masters in international painting. He was born in England on 1932. 1953, he studied painting at Bradford College of Art for two years, and then he studied at the Royal College of Art in London, where he won the Golden Ruth Award. 1966 held a solo exhibition in Cosmin Gallery.

Huo Yu went to the United States in 196 1, and has lived in the United States many times since then, and has his own studio, creating a number of masterpieces with world influence. The Bigger Splash is his masterpiece. There is a diving board in the picture, and no one throws water. There is an empty chair opposite the blue pool, and there is a projection at noon. There is a virtual shadow of a pool entering the water. The large glass in the swimming pool behind reflects the projection that is not shown here. There are two tall palm trees next to the museum, and a light blue plane painting is further away. The character in this painting is absent, which shows his existence through springboard, splash and chair. The small splash in the pool shows that there is a person diving on the opposite side, while the big splash jumps off the springboard, indicating that there are two people in the water. Here, the waves are people. The swimming pool is straight and flat, the brown wall is slightly white, palm trees protrude from the wall, and there is no wind. The picture is frozen and still, and the sound seems to be sucked clean by the building. At first glance, it looks like a flat decorative painting style, but the change of color level shows that the swimming pool and the nearby environment have a potential sense of focus. The picture tells you about water, waves, buildings, palm trees, and one more thing to show is the sun and buildings exposed to the sun. This is a calm and indifferent painting style, but it reflects the painter's inner excitement from a very dull picture.

Modern painting has been dominated by abstract art for a long time. In the past 20 years, it has called for images and pursued sensibility in painting, so there has been a new figurative school. Huo's paintings always attach importance to concrete images, which are directly absorbed in people's daily necessities in welfare society, such as living room, family and friends, their life details and emotional changes. The picture above of Mr and Mrs Clark Percy is a masterpiece. In this painting, the indoor characters are out of the center line, Clark leans back in his chair at will, turns his head and squints at a corner, Percy's right hand is akimbo, and his line of sight is in the direction where his right arm extends. The sun shines through the balcony glass. In the backlight, people's faces are dark, both sides are sipping their mouths, and their eyes show a projection without goals. In this warm and soft family room, the telephone for communicating with people is placed in a corner, and the decorative flower stand lamp is in the shadow. Both husband and wife opposed each other on one side, but did not communicate. This is a subtle emotional conflict that cannot be explained in words. There is only a book with a yellow cover and a bottle of eye-catching lilies on the square table. The warmth of the room and the conflict between husband and wife constitute the emotional tension, while the soft furniture and the dark and solemn clothes of the characters constitute the color tension, which makes the whole picture meaningful.

Huo Nicole developed pop art with Hamilton in her early years. Pop art was in its heyday in the United States in the 1960s, represented by R Lichtenstein and A Warhol. They are characterized by taking people's daily necessities as painting objects and adopting the methods of physical collage and environmental design. The object is finely deformed and has the nature of advertising design, and the screen display is indifferent and detached. For decades, Huo's paintings have absorbed the characteristics of this pop art and creatively integrated into his paintings. His painting realism is slightly distorted, including fine photographic realism and distorted and exaggerated splicing. The subtle changes between man and existence, man and society are all deeply hidden in his works.

Huo Nicole is a highly skilled British painter. His works are all about American life. As Hughes said, only foreigners can extract the affectionate image of Huo from the monotonous and happy life of California Sunshine.
