Huang was born in Beijing in 1945. He graduated from the Central Academy of Craft Art in 1969 and was the student of renowned artist Wu Guanzhong, a leading figure in the modernisation of Chinese paintings.
Huang was a member of the Tongdairen Group which advocated creative independence and self-expression during the oppressive era of the Cultural Revolution. In 1984, he was awarded the 'Work of Excellence' in the National Art Exhibition. Huang was active in the American and European art circles in and had a solo exhibition in the University of Chicago. After returning to China, Huang continued to explore the unique artistic language in his oil paintings. Early works such as Jiannan, The Young, Region of Rivers and Lakes, Autumn Fruit are emblematic of the artist’s personal style, reflecting modern Chinese aesthetics in its semi-representative imagery.
Huang receded from the art scene for more than a decade to search for his own path and his recent quasi-abstract works, which mainly feature silhouettes of lotus and trees rendered in all-over compositions, are testimony to his innovative spirit. His works are collected by influential institutions such as National Art Museum of China, Today Art Museum in Beijing and MGM Cotai Chairman's Collection (Macau).
