The Odd and Even 7#

Liu Guoqiang is one of the rare artists of his age who manifests calm visual impact on his works, attaching high importance on physical laws and logical argumentations. Through appropriated mixed medium, Liu Guoqiang seeks to explore the fundamental idea of duality – positive and negative, imagined and real, impalpable and tangible. Liu born in Shandong, China in 1988. In 2015, after he got his degree in sculpture from the China Academy of Art, he received a master degree in oil painting. He lives and works in Hangzhou, China. Liu selects individual symbols and ideas from daily life, removes them from their usual context, and rearranges such symbols that challenges a universally received understanding and interpretation of images. Leading the audience to deconstruct what has been assumed, Liu opens up new possibilities to reading this world and to creating an alternate reality.
