BIOGRAPHY

Ticko LIU
Born in 1996, Hong Kong

Ticko LIU graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Visual Arts from the Hong Kong Baptist University in 2019.  Liu’s surrealistic paintings are collages of his myriad ideas, inspirations, images and observations. His creations are inspired by various daily scenes, flora and fauna in the natural world, the cinema and moving images, his collection of toy models. All these are reimagined by the artist and rendered in bright colours and undulating lines on the canvas, presenting a fantasy space of the everyday that is nonetheless believable and relatable. Participated solo exhibitions include ‘Nonsensical ways of seeing’ (Square Street Gallery, Hong Kong, 2022), ‘The Mystery Boxes’ (PMQ, Hong Kong, 2021). Group exhibitions include ‘New Gaze’ (Gallery EXIT, Hong Kong, 2023), ‘Sweeping Vistas’ (JPS Gallery, Hong Kong, 2023), ‘Landscape Long March’ (a.m.space, Hong Kong, 2023), ‘FUTURE MEMORIES Utopia Dystopia Nature’ (City University of Hong Kong, 2021), ‘Pathfinder’ (Kunstquartier Bethanien, Berlin, 2020), ‘HKFOREWORD 2019’ (10 Chancery Lane Gallery, Hong Kong, 2019).
