Impression of Life No. 8

  • Literature notes

    When a print is truly like a print itself, it merges with the outside world.

    In 1994 Liu Bo graduated from the printmaking section of the Fine Art Department of the Nanjing College of Art, and was appointed to teach screen printing and lithography there. Liu Bo has created abstract prints since he was an undergraduate student and one screen print from his series Impression of Life won the Gold Medal at the 12th China Prints Exhibition in Shenzhen. Liu is one of the few Chinese printmakers whose work uses minimal elements and abstract form.
