After the success of Liu Zhengyong's solo in our Shanghai space in May, Leo Gallery is delighted to present the artist's newest works in our Hong Kong branch this October.  This new series of works is the result of Liu's participation in the Artist-in-Residence Programme organised by Leo Gallery Shanghai. Over 20 works were created from July 2020 to May 2021.

Liu Zhengyong's works mainly involve painting and installation art. With heavy texture, vivid sense of colour and distorted images, Liu's works often based on real characters including celebrities, close friends and his self-portraits. Using body form as a clue, Liu discusses the current and past landscapes of human nature from the perspective of individuals. Through his works, Liu rethinks and reconstructs the deep logic behind the relationships between the reification of the body and the invisible time. Liu focuses on the process of creation instead of the pursuit of end results, with continuous emphasis on the discussion of painting and its form construction, as well as image and its spiritual core.
