Chinese artist Le Liu’s dramatic canvases are both figurative and abstract. Inspired by the old masters, his work looks back to scenes of gods and heroes from classical mythology. However, Liu has chosen to stray away from wholly veritable realism, and rather examine the potential for this type of classical subject to be reimagined by a contemporary artist. Liu began painting "headless bodies" in 2020, feeling his work to become freer, more liberated from notions of identity as his figures become devoid of individuality. Liu gained a BA in Fine Art in 2019 at Hubie University at Wuhan, and a Master in Letters in Fine Art from The Glasgow School of Art UK, in 2021.
