As everything starts anew in the New Year, Connoisseur Art Gallery proudly presents a refreshing group exhibition to showcase the beautiful collection of paintings by our stable list of established contemporary Chinese artists. One of the featured artists is still life master LIU Ying Zhao. Born in Heilongjiang, China in 1956, LIU is considered one of the greatest living realism still life master artists from China today. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in Asia, the United States as well as the United Kingdom and is highly sought after by private collectors internationally. Using mainly fruits and Chinese pottery as his subject matter, LIU has masterfully portrayed the different textures of each item and juxtaposed the light and shadows in great details which are well thought out and executed to perfection. LIU’s paintings create a very powerful visual image and leave his viewers with a lasting impression.
