The Artist, Hung Liu

Hung Liu blended Chinese and Western artistic influences to explore Chinese history and culture, gender, identity, and memory.
A light-medium-skinned older woman leans her elbow against an interior marble balustrade. Her grey and black hair is pulled back, and she wears a black long-sleeve top and drop earrings, a red necklace, a red ring, and a red heart-shaped lapel pin.
