This large-format oil on canvas measuring 150 × 200 cm is a concentrated embodiment of Liu Xiaoning’s artistic language. Centered on snow-capped mountains, a herder, and a flock, the work unfolds under clear light and gentle tones, presenting a visual structure that balances narrative clarity with poetic resonance.
Liu Xiaoning’s practice is defined by a subtle equilibrium between legibility and naïveté. His paintings are not abstract, yet they do not cling to strict realism—one can plainly recognize the scene and figures while also sensing a childlike romance and warmth. Achieving this balance is exceptionally difficult: “naïveté,” if mishandled, can slip into mere childishness; whereas overemphasis on figuration can strip the work of its spiritual freedom and lightness.
