THE ARTIST
LIANG YING
Liang Ying(b.1961, China) was born in Beijing, China in 1961, studied in the Department of Chinese Painting, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts from 1981 to 1982, and studied at the Art Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg in Germany from 1983 to 1993, and received an art scholarship from the Rotary Club of Hamburg and the North German State.

As a pioneering female artist in Chinese contemporary art, Liang Ying was one of the earliest group of artists who studied in Germany in the 1980s. She is also one of the first established Chinese artists who forgo oil painting in order to focus on ink painting. Whether it is her early series “Diary Liang Ying,” which depicted modern women in urban settings, or her recent series “Immortals and Legends,” Liang Ying has always innovatively combined the compositional elements and contents of German Neo-Expressionism with the brushwork and subject matters of traditional Chinese Painting, transforming them into myriad phenomenal artworks.In these works, she merges concepts, narrative, and painterly expression in one entity. Like many Chinese artists in the 20th century, Liang Ying devotes herself to exploring the possibility of ink painting, hoping to prove to the world that ink painting is still a vital component of today’s contemporary art world.

His works have been widely collected by collectors around the world. Whether it is landscape painting or portrait, Liu Fengzhi's works contain strong subjectivity and emotional features. With free and loose brushstrokes and lines, he pulls away the original volume of the object, especially with the help of lines that twists, turns, hovers, reciprocates, sways, and gathers, closely responding to the transient emotional changes. He further presents and delineates the subtle and unobservable mental process, in which, reaching a highly abstract state. Liu Fengzhi faces the real world with a heart full of passion and humanistic care. In the poetic dismantling and combination of the external world, it hints at his deep reflection on the living conditions of human beings.
