Bio
Splitting her time between Taiwan and Detroit, G.E. Liu creates multiform paintings that focus on building a mythological world as a coded satire of reality. Her visual vocabulary explores the commonalities and variations between the East and West and infuses humor, sexuality, and self-deprecation. Liu is fascinated by the body-spirit cultivation of Medieval Chinese science and cosmology and sees herself as something of an alchemist as she mixes and contrasts ideas around mythology, gender, love, theology, and cultural identity. A myriad of dualities exist within Liu’s work; for example, the combination of ancient and contemporary visual languages, the employment of cheerful colors to explore dark topics, and the foundational use of silk, a material that is simultaneously prestigious and kitsch. Born in 1995 in Hualien, Taiwan Lives and works in Taiwan and Detroit
