About the artwork
The profile of a man is visible in this semi-abstract work by Liu ZhengYong, who is rendered in a highly stylized manner. The work is highly textured as the artist uses thick brushstrokes to depict the man’s form, creating a fascinating visual experience for the viewer. Its dark colour palette imbues the painting with an atmosphere and mood of solemnity, that is reflected by the figure, who appears to be knitting his brows with a focused expression. Like his human subject, through this evocative and layered work, Liu leaves the viewer with further thoughts to ponder about the complexity of human emotions and experience.
