According to Liu Qi Ming, “Art is rooted in life, but from the very beginning of the history of civilization, what influences our life most is politics, from which we can never escape! The politics of our society keep us dangling above a mysterious future, leaving us all at the mercy of the hands that hold our strings.” True to his philosophy, paintings by Qiming depict one or more individuals dangling by a slender red cord above an indistinguishable, inky morass.
