According to many people in the arts world, Hua Qing’s name is united with the form of the anthropoid monkeys that he creates. Because of that, people call him "the monkey-man painter" or the "ape painter". In any case the forms that he paints have a relatively distinct shape in people’s eyes because the objects that he chooses and creates are related to our human species in a way that other species are not. Hua Qing cares about the relationship of existence, love, live, and environment. He tries to criticize the commercial world and shows the way he thinks about the human by using his own feeling instead of the rule used to define the difference of artists. The painting language of the series of anthropoid monkeys is the way he tries to express his thought about this theme.
