Mia Liu
Known for：〈In Between〉
Mia Liu is a visual artist who lives and creates in Taipei. After receiving her B.F.A. from San Francisco Art institute in 2007, she enrolled in the M.F.A program, Hunter College of the City University of New York. Her works have been exhibited across major art museums and art spaces and collected by many throughout Europe, America, and Asia, including the Uli Sigg Collection (Switzerland) and the Emile Hermès Collection (Taiwan).
She probes into art practices via an open, liberal status like drawing. Through the traverse and collision of various psychological and physical experiences in life with the things in contact in the moment, she catalyzes a series of creations in search for “dialogues,” producing poetic scenes where everything is connected. Hence, while it is as if she produces visual art in diverse forms, ranging from spatial installation to paper sculpture, drawing, photography, video installation, botanical sculpture, etc., Liu roams in the midst of and connects them as one.
