Liu Shi

Liu Shi was born in Chengdu, Sichuan province and graduated from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. Now he lives and works in Chengdu.

In his recent series Playgirl which is presented on the website, Liu Shi shows his thoughts upon the contemporary woman. With gorgeous colors and charmingly expressions he pictures women who, among other things, are addicted to fashion and full of desires. Their expressions are reflecting loneliness, helplessness and depressions.
