New York: The Sperone Westwater gallery presents Bamboo Bamboo Broadway,
a solo exhibition of new paintings by Liu Ye. For his third solo show
at the gallery, the artist continues to engage the history of modernism,
while referencing the tradition of abstraction in historical Chinese
painting. Liu Ye introduces new genres such as landscape and
still-life painting and the centerpiece of the show is a
nine-part painting of abstracted and simplified details of a bamboo
plant which spans the gallery's double-height wall.
Liu Ye was born in 1964 in China. He graduated from the Beijing Central Academy of Fine Arts, Mural Painting Department, and after that he moved to Germany where he became a Master of Fine Arts. Today he lives and works in Beijing. Ye’s portraits are slightly strange, showing unreal characters living, acting and being a part of reality. His own thoughts are revealed in the world he creates. Melancholy is reflected in his paintings.
