Wu Hong – Liu Guoyi is the most fantastic artist, with whims and thinking beyond ordinary people<\/h3>\n

Liu Guo Yi (born in 1974) is a Chinese contemporary artist currently living in Beijing. He entered Songzhuang, Beijing, China in 2005. From 2005 to 2019, he created artworks of three different stages, namely, extreme happiness series, superstring series, as well as rebirth series. From 2020 till now, his artwork has shown new changes, he has extended his artwork from shelf creation to sculptures. His artistic track road has evolved from the topics of hell, spirits, salvation in his early stage to the exploration of the fleeing away from the world. He has continuously enhanced his art level, insisting his curiosity and marvel at the unknown mysterious world.<\/p>\n

Accolades and Recognition<\/h4>\n

Liu\u2019s creations are infused with dreamlike, surrealist elements. Through the use of fables and allegories, his works ultimately seek to present truths about the human experience. The elf-like figures and surreal scenes are the signature of Liu\u2019s works. Through his compositions that are magical and mysterious, Liu continues to move his viewers with his sincerity and boundless imagination. He has presented solo exhibitions at Beijing Today Art Museum, 798 Zero Space, 798 Yang Gallery, DHW Art Museum Beijing, Shenzhen Jupiter Art Museum, and Pure Stone Art Museum, to name a few. At the same time, Liu’s works have been presented at exhibitions in France, Canada, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other countries, as well as international art fairs.<\/p>\n

Unique Art Creation Language<\/h4>\n

The silk-like swirls in his work seem to mirror the web of life. Collectively, they create an illuminating image, like a placenta gently enveloping life and giving it vitality and nourishment. When experiencing Liu\u2019s work, one can’t help but be reminded: Life is exactly the way he expresses it – filled with paradoxes.<\/p>\n

Art Critic Jia Fangzhou\u2019s Comment on Liu Guoyi<\/h4>\n

Godwin Liu wants to describe not only the evil spirits and demons and monsters, but also the feasting and revelry and the life of dreams. He has been obsessed with painting, and to say what he wants to say via painting. Therefore, his paintings have a strong sense of narration, each one intending to tell a story. Since he has again and again experienced the subtle complexity of human nature, the human desires and evil thoughts, the entanglements, pains, struggling, despair and expectations as an individual, his paintings are both empirical and transcendental. In addition, he has recorded things on his canvas in a personal way that defies norms, ranging from the nightmares of souls and the overgrowing improper thoughts to the carnival of souls.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
