Exhibited Christie’s Hong Kong, The Best of the Best Exhibition, 28 February-15 March 2014. Post lot text More than two decades later, Liu pushed his boundary further and reformulated his cursive script calligraphy series from the 1960s to depict the most spectacular, realistic, and touching landscape paintings of snow mountains in Tibet. During the summer of 2000, Liu gave a lecture in Tibet and on the same trip, he embarked on a journey to reach Everest Base Camp. After several days’ journey, Liu experienced the spectacular magic of the mountains revealing itself in front of his eyes. As sunlight shone through the peaks shrouded by clouds, the majestic mountains shifted in and out of visibility where the sweeping vista greatly enraptured the artist.Liu began to work on the Tibetan Suite series based on what he saw from this fulfilling journey. Utilizing the technique from his Cursive Script Calligraphy series from the 1960s, Liu tore strands of fibre out from textured paper to outline the mountains in white. The Tension of the White Lines, a phrase often used by Liu to promote his innovative technique, is perfectly manifested in these paintings. Through repeatedly painting, creasing and peeling on both sides of the paper, Liu paints atmospheric snowy mountains with their topography shown through the crisscrossing white lines set against the dark, expansive backdrop of a Tibetan sky.
