About the artist

Liu Qinghe, a renowned Chinese artist that focuses on ink and wash. In an active way, he advocates the involvement of ink and wash into contemporary life and he has gradually established his own individual style into the experimental exploration of ink language. With an unique language of ink and wash, his work portrays the spiritual images of contemporary citizens, touches people to reveal their deep moods. Though respected as the representative artist of “Urban Painter with Ink and Wash”, Liu Qinghe does not believe the symbolized things in the paintings are what he really needs, as for ink figures he has his own far-reaching thoughts.
