| Rainmaker, 2011, mixed media on tapestry |
Hung Liu studied mural painting in Beijing. She includes Chinese history in nearly all of her paintings.
She shows images of refugees, women, and children- references of anonymous Chinese historical photographs. Heavy use of metaphor for the loss of memory and traditional Chinese symbolism.
Formally she uses linseed oil to make the painting look drippy/obviously referential of paint itself. This is a GREAT example of space and place! She uses mixed media on panel, canvas, or tapestry. Mixed media breaks figure/background planes.
