Liu Kang (1911 - 2005), in circa 1971 dated. He paints in a very modern, Western way, distorting the sense of perspective and space, and providing multiple viewpoints while utilizing the same two-dimensional plane, much in accordance with the Fauvist masters. Colours is the other key characteristic that is close to the heart of the artist. His palette tonality is usually underlined with an emotional, brooding earthy tone not unlike that of Paul Cenzanne whom he greatly admired and emulated.
There are many still life compositions which the artist rendered throughout the 50s to 70s ,which allowed him to pay tribute to the French Fauvist masters, but it is the composition as such of the present lot that earned him the accolade of a seminal artist of the "Nanyang style" in which he displayed an ingenuity in appropriating a classical chinese landscape, with a French Fauvist palette and tonality, it is this precise mix of cross culture influence that is the core of a "Nanyang style": appropriation of styles and aesthetics with a deep affinity and mutual respect
