Dapeng Liu

Biography
Beijing born Sydney based artist Dapeng Liu has been working as a full-time artist since 2014. Liu works primarily with oil and water based medium. His quest to strike a balance between the depth of human thought and the quality of artistic technique and style is the hallmark of Liu artistic endeavours. Such perception is well reflected in his key landscape series of works. These paintings, often enriched with emotion and storytelling, have a seemingly fusion of the East and the West as well as the old and the new. Nevertheless, the intrinsic conscious reflected in his works is to blur the boundaries between different time, space and dimension, and delve into the intangible realms.
