+ OVERVIEW

Liu is always with the innate innocence, curiosity and passion, drawing a world with fistful love. From birds, insects to animals, everything he draw is believe invariably vivid and with a little touch of his imagination. The fishes in "Kiss Fishes" seems swim unrestrainedly under Liu's brush; this is his excellent masterpiece during the 80's.
