Liu Wenquan was born in Chongqing of Sichuan Province in November of 1956. He studied painting from early childhood, moving to Beijing when he became an adult where his talent would be more appreciated. Inspired by occidental viewpoints of oriental themes, his works are usually bright and clear with Impressionist influences and a keen eye for the hustle and bustle of daily life in cities and markets. An entire collection of his oil paintings first sold at Christies’ in 1995, introducing him to Western audiences and leading to his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong in 1997. In 1998 he was awarded a grant to study art in Europe as a member of the China Youth League, and upon returning to Beijing he began holding exhibitions there and in Hong Kong annually. Many of his paintings have been represented by galleries all over the world, and can be found in public, private, and corporate collections throughout Europe, America, and Asia.
