Ding Hui, born in 1983 in Shandong Province, China, is a talented contemporary artist currently based in Beijing. He graduated from the Mural Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Ding Hui invented the farming method where he uses a utility knife to carry out dense horizontal and vertical cutting on the wooden board with multiple layers of different colors. By doing this, the color of some internal layers is automatically turned over during the action to form a mosaic-like surface, and retains a dynamic force with blasting and irregularity, thus breaking the two-dimensionality of painting. The uncertainty of the handwork left traces of farming on the painting, maintaining the non-mechanized language of the painting structure, and at the same time strengthening the spatial structure extended from the painting. He has participated in several contemporary art exhibitions in various esteemed art institutions across China, such as, Chaozhou Art Museum + Jupiter Art Museum (2021), and Wanhe Art Museum (2014), the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts (2008); and abroad, in the Kommunale Galerie Berlin in Germany (2019). His works are collected in the Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Yijia International Gallery.
