About the artwork

Against a cheerful, colorful background, characteristic of Liu Ye's work, two similar but differently-sized figures stand out. Evoking a maternal relationship, these expressionless figures seem frozen in the composition, their arms resting along their bodies like figurines. Echoing Piet Mondrian, the background is made up of colored rectangles, perennially inscribing the work in the history of art.

Expert opinion

This work perfectly reflects Liu Ye's delicate universe. Over the years, the Chinese artist has developed a style that synthesizes human nature through a modern, international prism.

About the artist

Chinese artist born in 1964. Graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. Liu Ye is an artist known for his colorful style. Drawing his inspiration from the works of artists such as Piet Mondrian and Paul Klee, his work is colorful, joyful and childlike, while reactivating the practice of the great names of modern European art, as if to demonstrate his opposition to the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Present in collections around the world, his work can be admired in the permanent collections of the Shanghai Art Museum and the Long Museum.
