{"product_id":"liu-xiaodong-contemporary-painters-series","title":"Liu Xiaodong (Contemporary Painters Series)","description":"The remarkable plein air paintings of Liu Xiaodong (b.1963), which chronicle everyday lives within our diverse modern world, are the focus of this first monograph of his career to date.Immersing himself in communities around the globe, Xiaodong seeks to present people who often sit on the fringes of society who find themselves marginalised within a contemporary world striving for homogenisation. At first glance a traditional realist painter, closer examination reveals an artist exploring a range of media while interrogating the opportunities presented by modern technology. The result is an outstanding body of work, often monumental in scale, that examines, reconsiders, and extends observational painting in fresh directions, while bringing into question the lines between fact and fiction, the traditional and the contemporary, to create a wholly original vision.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1848224168\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.1848224168.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yau, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Crisp copy with a sturdy binding and light shelf wear.
