Liang Fu’s practice is shaped by water. As a painter, using watercolour gives him freedom and fluidity. It allows him to play with colour, light and figuration, before finishing the details in oil paint. His deep blues and rippling brush strokes are a reflection of his liquid muse. As a sculptor, he is fascinated by stalactites – mineral formations shaped by thousands of water droplets over time. His geological sculptures rendered in black crystal call out from prehistoric times. In both mediums, Fu relishes the literal and symbolic power of water.
