WHAT
The selling collection of 26 works (some never seen before) were created over a period during the renowned abstract artist’s larger creative journey. They are concrete manifestations of the artist’s understanding of art or his understanding of the value of art. Alongside his signature series of paintings, the exhibition also unveils new works exclusively conceived for this occasion. For example, some paintings of flowers and plants are presented albeit in new ways – like the rest of Liu’s paintings, they are metaphors and are intended to express unspoken feelings.

WHY
The artist was influenced by the pioneers of abstract art, such as modern masters Cézanne, van Gogh, and Gauguin. Hoping to offer deep spiritual solace because it transcends reality, the artist hopes that his works reflect human ideals. Although he finds his own works ‘tragic’ due to the tragic nature of human lives, the presentation is nonetheless breathtaking and serene.
