Santos Hu, the stage name of Wen Shyan Hun (胡文賢) is a painter of Taiwanese origin born in 1955, known as a representative of the style known as "Dream Realism". He has numerous accolades for his work, as well as permanent exhibitions of his works at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Taiwan and at the City Museum of Fine Arts in Tainan, Taiwan.

Biography[edit]

Born in southern Taiwan in 1955. His birthname is 胡文賢, which phonetically translates as Wen Shyan Hun. So that people, in his time as a student in Spain, could easily memorize his name, he began to use the nickname Santos Hu, which to this day used as a artistic pseudonym. In 2007 he was granted Spanish nationality (maintaining Taiwan's), and since then has officially changed his name into Santos Hun Wang.

He was drawn to the art of painting from an early age. In 1975 he began studying it at Taiwan's Higher School of Fine Arts, and later devoted himself to teaching.

In 1983 he migrated to Spain and entered the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid to study Western painting and thus complete its training.

Based in Spain since the 1990s, he has made numerous exhibitions of his extensive work in Spain and Taiwan, mainly, as well as in other countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Work[edit]

He develops a colorful, exuberant yet delicate work, in which volumes and proportion denote the mastery of drawing and perspective.

Main Features

The air of colors
The vital light you print to your canvases
Nature as the source of his works
Balance of sketch
The look of space

As the critic A. M. Campoy wrote in the newspaper ABC^{[disambiguation needed]}, "Santos Hu is a superb colorist, an extraordinary cartoonist. He has imagination and knows how to use it plastically."^{[citation needed]}

Stages

His work has three distinct stages:

. 1st Stage (1984–1988): During his time as a student in the faculty, he moved from Realism to Hyperrealism (Photo 1)

. 2nd Stage (1989–1999): Influenced by style Surrealism of René Magritte (Belgium, 1898) and Salvador Dalí, played with ambiguous images and their meaning. He often paints still lifes and uses gigantic fruits, and is sometimes called "the giant fruit painter" (photo 2)

. 3rd Stage (2000–current):Dream Realism, expresses dream scenes, combines the female figure and everyday objects creating an attractive visual ensemble within a dreamlike atmosphere.
