Liang yuanwei biography books

Liang was a reluctant student of design — her father would not permit her to study Fine Arts, fearing the unpredictable and financially precarious life of the artist. Liang Yuanwei acknowledges a number of artists who have been significant to her work as she taught herself to paint, including sculptor Eva Hesse and painters Luc Tuymans, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter.

Some of her teachers at the Central Academy of Fine Arts returned to China from Berlin in , bringing with them new ideas about art, and introducing her to the work of Joseph Beuys. She realised that the ideas underpinning her work were as important as the materials and techniques with which they were constructed. Beginning with installation, she turned to painting and developed her own idiosyncratic technique of paintings worked from top to bottom or edge to edge in heavy impasto, replicated pieces of cloth ranging from humble checked sheets to gorgeous, ornate bolts of silk.
