<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The remarkable plein air paintings of Liu Xiaodong (b.1963), which chronicle everyday lives within our diverse modern world, are the focus of this first monograph of his career to date. Immersing himself in communities around the globe, Xiaodong seeks to present people who often sit on the fringes of society who find themselves marginalised within a contemporary world striving for homogenisation. At first glance a traditional realist painter, closer examination reveals an artist exploring a range mediums while interrogating the opportunities presented by modern technology. The result is an outstanding body of work, often monumental in scale, that examines, reconsiders, and extends observational painting in fresh directions, while bringing into question the lines between fact and fiction, the traditional and the contemporary, to create a wholly original vision.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>John Yau </b>is an award-winning poet, art critic, and curator who has published many books of poetry, fiction, and art criticism. He is the author of two volumes on American painters Thomas Nozkowski and Philip Taaffe for the Lund Humphries Contemporary Painters Series.
