BACK

Liu Li Guo is famous for his painting style; expressing and reflecting twentieth century Chinese 'ego'. This indicates the merge of consumer’s society and the traditional elements of modern China. Visually, numerous imagi­native objects and vibrant colours are often used in his paintings. On the other hand, Liu mastered well in avant-garde variation on Chinese traditional arts. His painting ideas hints his fear of losing the Chinese identity and characteristics of a Chinese form of ego conveyed towards the evolution and westernization of China. 

 

Liu Li Guo is famous for his "trafficking imagination" series, painting in a surrealistic manner. 

His artworks remind the audience of Gaudy. His pick of subjects from the nature is always symbolic and expressive. 

 

He is known for both his paintings and ceramic sculptures, especially famous for his intricate details and usage of vibrant colours. 

 

Has participated in over 50 international exhibitions, including Hong Kong, Beijing, Singa­pore, Tokyo, Brussels, Basel, Madrid, Paris, etc. 

Has an auction record of US$101,636 set at a major auction in China in 2010. 

 

Has had a long track record of exhibitions as early as 1986.
