1965 - Born in Beijing, China
Graduated from the Fine Art department at Hebei Teaching University, China
Liu Hong Wei's haunting, geometric settings are reminiscent of M.C. Escher sketches of impossible stairways and Giorgio de Chirico paintings of metaphsical landscapes. The artist's gallery describes his paintings "solitary, desolate, almost menacing visions. In these bizarre lands of Liu's imagination the perspectives of mind and space are skewed."
This work sold for $43,680 at Christie's Hong Kong on May 27, 2007 - a record high at auction for this artist.
