LIU FEI 刘菲 (b. 1983, China)
Selected works
Biography
Liu Feiis known for her photorealist oil paintings that make social commentaries about the East vs. West, Old China vs.New China, Nature vs. Technology. In her paintings, the ‘future’ is alwaysrepresented by asmall, harmless metal robot.
As many of her peers of the after 80ties generation, Liu Fei grew up in the new China of industrialization, marketing addicted, with very little local and traditional attachments. In a generation where keywords of life are: Consumption, technical adaptation, branded goods, social networking. She choose to go beyond the “Cartoon Generation’s”superficial patterns. Liu Fei’s creations do not indulge in revelry and material consumption and the worship of new technologies, she rather reflects this subject with detached calms. She built a unique artistic world, scorching hot, but cool, clear eyes but impaired. In the area of mechanical reproduction, art remains a halo, though with a weak fluorescent glow.
Liu Fei was born in 1983 in Henan Province, China. In 2006, she graduated from the Oil Painting Department of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, Chongqing, China. In 2010, she attended Master of Fine Arts in University of Zurich, Switzerland. Her work has been widely exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions.
