ma liuming (1969)
Ma Liuming (马六明) is a contemporary Chinese painter active in performance art. He is known most of all for his exploration of the power and poetry of public nudity in China, where such behavior was strictly forbidden. That is why he has been the target of government censorship, unable to perform in his own country for most of his career.
In order to match his own uniquely androgynous appearance Ma Liuming developed his own performance persona — Fen-Ma Liuming, a hybrid figure of male and female components.
