About the artwork

End of oct In Liu Ruo Wang's works, the "hero" is not only a coveted ideal in life, but also echoes history and is the artist's main theme. Whether it is the "Heaven's Soldier” series, "The People" series or the "Horse and Carriage Guard”series, all of the figures temperaments and postures, whether tranquil or determined, have a focus on heroism. This is a concept that exists beyond the boundaries of life and death. It is worth noting that the heroes in his works are not individuals of a high rank, but common people of history. He makes references to the heroes of the ordinary, which have the widest significance for audience from all walks of life.



About the artist

Born in 1970 in Shaanxi, China, Liu Ruo Wang creates art that touches on an immense array of cultural elements, while remaining firmly rooted in a personal journey through time and struggle. Turning a childhood of myth and folklore into a representation of the Chinese spirit, the artist chooses to glorify the ordinary man by presenting him as a an emblem of solidarity, tying together bands of soldiers in distinctly Eastern colour, texture and form. A coalescence of nostalgia and tribute, the artist immortalizes his roots, subtly making reference to the history and significance that form the rich heritage behind the industrialized modernity of his people. Widely established and exhibited, the artist’s works are collected by numerous prestigious institutions in China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Korea, France, Italy, New Zealand and the USA.
