Danny Liu

Danny Liu (MFA) is a visual artist with a passion in exploring the mediums of traditional and contemporary ink rooted from Chinese ink paintings.

Born in Hong Kong (1976) and raised in Australia, Danny sets his artistic ideologies among Mother Nature and urban development while having witnessed the changes of Victoria Harbour, mountains and landscape. Having followed masters Hung Hoi and Leung Kui Ting, his attainments from Diploma of Chinese painting at HKUSPACE (2008), Art Specialist Course in ink painting at HKVAC (2009), Diploma of Visual Art Education at Renmin University of China, Beijing (2010) and Master of Fine Arts at RMIT (2013) further refined his artistry.

Liu continually embarks on a journey in testifying his aesthetics and concepts beyond ink, material and tools for his project of “Where’s the Mountain?” Liu founded Dan’s Studio in 2013 and registered it as painting society in 2018 with 100 members currently. While selected as finalist in Art Revolution Taipei (2015 & 2019), Liu’s works have been exhibited in Australia, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia, and collected by private collectors globally.
