Summary:
In his oeu­vre, Liu Xiaodong shows mo­ments and sto­ries from hu­man li­fe as well as si­tua­ti­ons and land­scapes wi­th an out­stan­ding im­me­di­a­cy and ex­tra­or­di­na­ry em­pa­thy. Liu Xiaodong on­ly de­picts what he sees wi­th his own eyes, smells wi­th his own no­se, and hears wi­th his own ears. At the be­gin­ning of each work, he spends ti­me wi­th the sub­jects in their dai­ly li­ves be­fo­re por­tray­ing them. This par­ti­ci­pa­to­ry di­men­si­on of his ar­tis­tic prac­tice is ac­com­pa­nied by jour­nal no­tes and pho­to­graphs. In ad­di­ti­on, along­side his pro­jects, he crea­tes films that ap­proach the va­rious to­pics from the per­spec­tive of the mo­ving image. The ar­tist en­coun­ters the stran­ger wi­th the ut­most open­ness, so as not to suc­cumb to the de­cep­ti­on of clichés or pre­for­med opi­ni­ons. He is a pain­ter of mo­dern li­fe who ad­dres­ses the ques­ti­on of the hu­man con­di­ti­on, as well as glo­bal is­su­es that are di­rect­ly lin­ked to it, such as de­mo­gra­phic shifts, en­vi­ron­men­tal cri­sis, and eco­no­mic uphea­val.
