"The MET #3" is part of a broader recent project that includes oil paintings and drawings and explores the unfortunate qualities of a popular museum that often dampen one’s experience: tweeting crowds, forever queues, rowdy schoolchildren, the unapologetic gift shop, bloated benches of the bored and erudite. Huang's humorous and bewildered characters — each face as singular and studied as a portrait — gaze with half lids, yawn or Instagram. The Greco-Roman sculptures, Grecian vases and Picassos are pulled from the MET and MoMA, each piece possessing as much personality as their admirers.
《大都会#3》是艺术家近期油画绘画系列中的一件作品，该系列尝试探索当代美术馆一些让人扫兴的情景：吵杂的人群、漫长的队伍、冒失的学童、俗气的商品，每张长凳都坐满了昏昏欲睡、高谈阔论的观众。黄海欣笔下的人物既幽默又刚——睡眼松惺、呵欠连连也好，沉溺于社群网站也罢，每一张面容都是值得仔细玩味的人间一态。无论是大都会美术馆的希腊罗马雕像，或是纽约当代美术馆的毕加索画作，每一件都巧妙映衬出观众的独特群体性。
