He is one of the representative figures after Lin Fengmian who combines Chinese and Western art exquisitely. \nLiu Xiaoqing is a respected figure in the calligraphy world. He has made outstanding contributions to the research and development of calligraphy and calligraphy education. \nThe works of other artists in the exhibition all have their own unique artistic styles and artistic ideas. \nDuring the exhibition\, you will also have the opportunity to communicate face-to-face with the collector and learn about the stories behind the paintings.

His adventurous and deeply attuned trio features bassist Jorge Roeder and renowned Bad Plus drummer Dave King.
