Liu Ye was born in 1964 in Beijing, China where he currently lives and works. He studied mural painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and industrial design at the School of Arts & Crafts, both in Beijing. He received his Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin in 1994. In 1998, he was Artist in Residence at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.

Liu combines abstraction and figuration to create paintings that investigate the intersections of history and representation through a distinct vocabulary that transcends traditional Eastern and Western art-historical categories. Drawing on both his childhood memories of China and his early education in Europe, the artist’s carefully balanced, methodical compositions play on perspective and ways of seeing, while also referencing a diverse range of aesthetic, literary, and cultural sources. The various points of reference have inspired Liu’s artistic output, resulting in a body of work that is at once rich in its historical quotations and singularly his own.

Over the past decade, Liu has had solo exhibitions at prominent venues, including Liu Ye: Pierre Menard, at the New Century Art Foundation, Beijing (2021-22); Liu Ye: Storytelling exhibited at the Prada Rong Zhai, Shanghai (2018-19), and traveled to the Fondazione Prada, Milan (2020-21); Mondrian and Liu Ye, Mondriaanhuis, Amersfoort, The Netherlands (2016). His works were featured in the recent international group exhibitions, including Hello World: Revising a Collection, Hamburger Bahnhof-Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (2018); The World in 2015, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing (2015). In 2017, Liu’s work was included in the 57th Venice Biennale as part of Viva Arte Viva, curated by Christine Macel, director of the 2017 Venice Biennale.

Rosalind Nashashibi is a London-based artist working in film and painting. Her films use both documentary and speculative languages, where observations from her own life and the world around her are merged with paintings, fictional or sci-fi elements; often to propose models of collective living. Her paintings likewise operate on another level of subjective experience, they frame arenas or pools of potential where people or animals may appear, often sharing the picture plane with their own context of signs and apparitions that hint at their position vis a vis the artist. Nashashibi has showed in Documenta 14, Manifesta 7, the Nordic Triennial, and Sharjah  X, She was nominated for the Turner Prize in 2017 and won Beck’s Futures prize in 2003. She represented Scotland in the 52nd Venice Biennial. Most recent solo shows include Vienna Secession, CAAC Seville, Chicago Art Institute and Kunstinstuut Melly, Rotterdam.
