Liu Liguo

	1961 Born in Heilongjiang, China 1991 Graduated from the fine arts department of Beijing's National Theatre Institute Currently lives and works in Beijing, China

Liu Liguo is an example of the Chinese style and trend we call "Gaudy Art", a school of thought whose subscribers often make use of pastiche in their illustration of the vulgarity of contemporary society. In recent years, Liu Liguo has become specialized in ceramic sculpture. With a wealth of humor he creates vases that revisit the symbolically charged era of Qing Dynasty ceramics. However, the message retains none in its former subtlety but is rather quite openly provocative.
