Oscar yi Hou (born 1998) is a New York City–based British-Chinese painter and poet.[1]
He is known for his portraits that are "never purely figurative, but position characters as richly complex ciphers",[2] engaging with the “subterranean semiotics” of his communities.[3] His oil-on-canvas works make reference to a variety of visual cultures and histories, from pop culture to art history, including Dragon Ball Z or Martin Wong.
