One of my fav. artist- Hung Liu



Artist Hung Liu's website.

I have attended her lecture in San Jose years back, when I was finishing a series of collage work in acrylic using digitized photographs. And it so happens that I saw many of my directions in her body of work.
I still feel inspired by her paintings and pieces of it will flow over into my pastel work.
She works primarily in large scale oil painting. She has a permanent piece hanging currently at the San Jose Museum of Art.
If you have a moment, you should read about her background and how she create art in China, during the lates 1940's under the Maoist regime. It's quite interesting and fascinating.
