ABOUT THE ARTWORK
In 2015, Quentin Liu created a series of paintings on the theme of contradictory shop windows. This inspiration comes from his experience of living in Beijing. In the luxurious commercial center of the Chinese capital, he found beautiful window displays of glittering and expensive apples and colorful cakes. However, under these beautiful appearances, apples were often not sweet, and cakes were often made with Colors made from poor quality chemicals. He found that this paradoxical and hypocritical phenomenon can be said to be the biggest feature of communist China. Quentin Liu tries to express this contradictory fusion in a visual language by fusing classical Chinese painting elements with real life scenes.

Quentin Liu
France
French of Chinese origin, Quentin Liu arrived for the first time in France at the age of 24 in 2002. After studying at the Beaux-Arts and a photography school, painting became his main tool for artistic creation. For him, painting is the freest medium in his artistic creation. In 2011, he made a major turn in the theme of his artistic creations. Before that date, fashion and consumerism were his main subjects. But his experience in Beijing from 2007 to 2013 changes him deeply. During this time, he witnessed the radical change in Chinese contemporary art, from an almost New York-like prosperity to a North Korean-style repression. The hostility of the totalitarian government towards free artists, and the brainwashing of the people by the mainstream media left a deep impression on him. He becomes aware of the role of the artist as a whistleblower in a context where democracy and freedom of expression are seriously challenged around the world. Since 2014, Quentin Liu has been living and working in the Paris region. In his most recent works, his questioning and criticism of certain social phenomena has become increasingly acute.
