Personal profile
Liu Xiaodong feels that there are many kinds of "doctrines" in the world, and "realism" is documentary and direct to him. "I feel real in my heart relying on this basic point." Even when the modern art movement dominated the world in the late 1980s, Liu Xiaodong still insisted on his own realism and focused on daily life and familiar characters. In the more than ten years of obscurity, Liu Xiaodong still sticks to his own concept of painting, focusing on showing the independence and alienation of ordinary people's living experience, away from the trend and noise. As a representative of the "new generation" in the art world, Liu Xiaodong has not only become a mainstream hot spot, but also his paintings have been warmly welcomed by collectors. people are eager to pursue Liu Xiaodong not only because his paintings have set a new auction record for Chinese contemporary art, but also because of his courage to face the reality. Ai Weiwei commented that Liu Xiaodong's works show "the wounds of a country and the wordless position of an artist" with great strength. He is so sensitive to the vicissitudes of the times. Apart from the flashy and grand narration, he closely connects the individual reality with the absurdity of the times. Every ordinary person in his works forms a deep gaze at life to varying degrees. However, in an era of crazy consumption, it is hard for artists to avoid vulgarity. On the one hand, Liu Xiaodong resists consumption with art, on the other hand, he is hard to prevent himself from becoming a consumption symbol. After his painting "Three Gorges new immigrants", which shows the suffering of the bottom of the Three Gorges, was photographed and bought, it was put into a high-level club marking his status. However, Liu Xiaodong's strength lies in his adaptation to a commercial society. He is very clear that today's art communication and promotion must rely on commerce, and the art market can only be a business. However, he also keeps his bottom line. No matter what the outside world says and his price soars, he still takes it for granted and devotes himself to painting. Chen Danqing, who is also a painter, highly praises Liu Xiaodong. Chen Danqing thinks that he has only finished the "Cultural Revolution" in his paintings, but Liu Xiaodong uses realistic brushwork to describe the present situation. Liu Xiaodong has done what he wants to do but has not done. Liu Xiaodong's success lies not only in his artistic talent, but also in his adherence to art. This is a gamble between art and lonely years. As he often said, "painting and the process of life are the same word" boil ".
