The evolution of Liu Gang's oeuvre over the past 15 years is particularly noteworthy. His last four distinct series vividly illustrate the artist's growth, shifting perspectives, and evolving techniques⁠⁠.

Liu Gang's artistic progression can be traced through four pivotal series:

Mechanical Memories: In this groundbreaking series, Liu Gang demonstrates his exceptional ability to breathe new life into the discarded remnants of our technological age. By repurposing abandoned industrial and electronic components, he creates intricate, multifaceted artworks that not only captivate the eye but also challenge our perceptions of technology, waste, and the value we assign to objects in our rapidly evolving world. These pieces serve as a poignant commentary on consumer culture and the often-overlooked beauty in the obsolete.

Safe Distance: The "Face to Face" series delves deep into the symbolism of tables, exploring their role as silent witnesses to human interaction and the passage of time. Liu Gang's masterful treatment of this everyday object transforms it into a powerful metaphor for communication, connection, and the invisible boundaries we create in our relationships. Through his unique artistic lens, these pieces become bridges that span not only physical space but also the emotional and temporal distances between individuals, inviting viewers to reflect on their own interactions and the spaces they inhabit.

Cracks: With the "Great Vessel" series, Liu Gang showcases his extraordinary technical skill and innovative approach to materials. This collection is a testament to his ability to find beauty and significance in imperfection. Through hyper-realistic techniques and a keen eye for detail, Liu Gang explores the intricate patterns and textures of cracks found in nature and man-made objects. These works invite viewers to consider the passage of time, the resilience of matter, and the hidden stories etched into the surfaces of our world.

Deformation: In his latest and perhaps most daring series, "Untitled," Liu Gang pushes the boundaries of artistic expression to new heights. By manipulating cracks as a primary visual element, he challenges traditional notions of time, materiality, and the very nature of art itself. This series represents a bold experiment in form and technique, inviting viewers to question their perceptions of reality and the malleability of the physical world. Through these works, Liu Gang opens up new possibilities for artistic creation and interpretation.

Liu Gang's body of work not only showcases his technical mastery but also provides profound insight into his philosophical and emotional growth over the years, offering viewers a rich tapestry of artistic evolution.
