As an ink artist, Liu Qinghe has been one of the prominent names in the contemporary scenes that is experimental and expressive in his works. In Treading Waves, he captures the contemporary society in urban cities in an attempt to understand society's psychological perceptions visually. The artworks show people in their carefree nature through the dripping and permeation of ink. A strange ambiance is felt as each figure is depicted in a dense mist of color and ink. Yet each line is meticulously drawn, giving each image a complete metaphysical visual experience.
