刘毅：在有限的“画布”上探索无尽的自由，在公共艺术活动中疗愈和开启感知力
Liu Yi：Finding inspiration in things small and public

A 2013 Japanese Ukiyoe exhibition at the British Museum sparked artist Liu Yi’s interest in small-scale paintings. A year later, he made a dozen copies of line drawings, sketching his wife sitting the month after childbirth, which led to mobile painting. Today, he has produced more than 2,000 mobile paintings, posted on his WeChat Moments and filed by month on the home page of his studio 61creative. “The most healing thing about art is it enables me to present my art in different ways,” the 40-year-old said.

A professor who teaches public art at the Shanghai Institute of Visual Art, Liu intends to bring people beauty and enlightenment on social life, not only through monumental installation works, but also via temporary public activities. He called it “another kind of therapy” to arouse people’s awareness to care for those around and in need.
