Liu Ye (1964 Beijing) is best-known for his colorful cartoon like characters in playful, naughty adolescent
scenes. Influenced by Mondrian and abstract art, Liu Ye uses the color schemes and patterns of a Mondrian -- and even
images from Mondrian's works -- and sets them in China, with young girls, bearing a breast, smoking, acting childlike or closing
their eyes to enter a dream like state. Unlike many contemporary artists he has steered away from politics and chosen
to focus on human emotions -- and childlike images. Liu Ye studied at Mural Painting Dept. at the Central
Academy of Fine Arts in 1989, then he went to Berlin to studie at Hochschule der Bildence Kunst.
He lives and works in Beijing now.
