Liu Ye Miffy with Mondrian No. 2, 2013
Acrylic on canvas
25 x 40 cm
Miffy with Mondrian No 2 brings together major motifs from Liu Ye's formal and conceptual themes. On the left, almost taking up the entire canvas, the artist depicts a painting by Piet Mondrian. On the right, we see the frontal view of Miffy: a recurring figure in Liu Ye’s iconography that the artist borrowed from children's cartoonist Dick Bruna.
