Bingge Liu - A Mountain, or Something Like It

£5,000.00

Mineral pigments, pastel, silk and wood
27 x 37 cm
2026

Bingge Liu is a Chinese artist whose practice moves between painting and sculpture, exploring material transformation, urbanisation, and the shifting boundary between nature and construction. Working with silk, mineral pigments, water, light, and nylon mesh, she allows images to emerge through accumulation, erosion, and chance. In her double-sided silk paintings, pigments bleed, overlap, and permeate the fabric, creating mountain-like forms that remain unstable and open to interpretation. Her use of lightweight yet structural materials connects her current paintings with her earlier sculptural practice. Green construction netting, a recurring image in her visual memory, recalls both contemporary urban expansion and the blue-green landscapes of classical Chinese painting. Through this overlap, Bingge reflects on women’s labour and lived experiences of urbanisation in contemporary China. Her work considers when an image becomes recognisable and how materials can hold multiple states, histories, and possibilities at once.
