LIU DAHONG

Golden Rules and Jade Precepts (Lot 2495) is a visual depiction of the anthem of the People's Liberation Army, "The Three Disciplines and the Eight Points of Attention", each painted on a trompe-l'oeil brick. Liu adopts the proletarian forms of expression in promulgating socialist ideals, infusing it with unprecedented tension, while striking a chord in collective nostalgia. Through these works, Liu continues to form his own philosophy in painting, rooted in a folk and political argot, to express a concern for the fate of mankind and cultural history.
