Liu Ye is known for his "Magical Realism" style, characterized by a bright, flat application of color, precise geometric compositions, and childlike figures.
He incorporates Mondrian's geometric abstractions to symbolize structure and reason, contrasting them with the emotional narratives of his figures.
These works represent a tribute to knowledge and art history, stripping away narrative to focus purely on the object's form and texture.
Studying in Berlin exposed him to Western philosophy, allowing him to step away from political realism and develop an introspective visual language.
He explores childhood, memory, fairy tales, and the intersection of Eastern and Western culture.
His works are included in major collections like the Long Museum (Shanghai), M+ (Hong Kong), and the Today Art Museum (Beijing).
