His personal exhibition, Huang Yue Nature's Divine Impressions, has been held in New York since Oct 25, 2014.

Huang started fusing Chinese and Western styles of painting in 2000. As of today, nearly 20 of his pieces are a part of the Rockefeller family collection, a family known for their love of beautiful art. Steven C. Rockefeller Jr. and Kimberly K. Rockefeller both expressed their fondness for Huang's work.

"Huang Yue's oil paintings of flowers and birds are unique, no matter in China or in the world. With sensational colors, daring brushwork, and delicate themes, Huang combines all the elements into a rare piece of artwork with great charm," Steven C. Rockefeller Jr. said.
