Liu Xiaodong

         Liu Xiaodong felt that realism was documentary and direct for him. Even when the modern art movement dominated the world in the late 1980s, Liu Xiaodong still insisted on the realism of his duty and focused his attention on daily life and familiar people. For more than a decade, Liu Xiaodong still adheres to his own concept of painting, focusing on the independence and alienation of ordinary people's survival, away from the trend and embarrassment. Best known for his realistic and humanising paintings of everyday people in politically complex places, Liu Xiaodong is concerned with those left behind by modernisation globalisation.

Lecture by Kerri Soukup

          I was honored to listen to a lecture by Kerri Soukup who was graduated in Fine Art and worked in Leo Burnett as an executive creative director. She was a proud and independent woman. There was something she speech that attracted me. First of all, She said modern makers are true characters, They have more creativity, and not just ads. They make things and solve problems. What's more, they create something. Then, Kerri Soukup analyzed the difference between art and copy. After that, she said what she looks for her company included talent, concept and craft, and character. At last, she showed us four artworks that she felt better and gave the presents to the artists.
