- Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Liu Xiaodong, from the "Beijing" episode in the tenth season of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
""Beijing"" premiered in September 2020 on PBS.
A leading figurative painter, Liu Xiaodong creates large-scale works that dramatize the lives of everyday people: migrants, laborers, and others on the economic and geographic margins. Best known for his live, en plein air process, Liu travels to Eagle Pass, Texas, a city on the United States-Mexico border, to paint a county sheriff, his friends, and colleagues. As he works outdoors, Liu contends with the natural elements to complete his ambitious mural-size work, composed of loose brushstrokes and rich colors. The artist considers this process a meditative one that allows him to soften the harsh edges of the world. Reflective of the rise of China to prominence on the world stage, Liu discusses his humble origins as a boy raised in rural China, which inspired him to depict real and relatable people, and his international success, working across cultures and continents. Ultimately, Liu hopes, “Audiences will look at my art and think of themselves.” His paintings are at once tenderly realized portraits of specific people and places and also universalizing scenes from our globalized lives.
Liu Xiaodong was born in 1963 in Jincheng, in the province of Liaoning, China. Learn more about the artists at: art21.org/artist/liu-xiaodong

I cried with joy
I congratulate you 😊! Same here
A man who truly has found his calling. When you look at his paintings, you can immediately feel something powerful yet calming.
I LOVE him!!! Ive watched movies, documentaries and shorts on this artist for years...he never ceases to amaze me and brighten the art world with his talent. I too want to be the Buddha sitting on the stool. TY for featuring him. xx
🥰
What sort of paints are you using?
He cares, it shows, lovely and inspiring!
I love the way the officers stood so patiently and respectfully. These ppl probably would never go into a art gallery or museum.
Thanks for featuring this amazing painter. Im Mexican American and I live miles away from the border as well. He captures the essence of life and transfers it to the canvas. Well done! I paint as well but this guy is just amazing!
This IS how to make true art!! He understands all that is seen and how it is seen. And he makes me feel his “stroke” and lets my whole being experience the composition and the moment. He is a master. He takes necessary risks!
The best Manchurian artist! I’m so proud of you brother!
wow... incredible. exactly what I needed to see today. speechless the whole time watching this video..
Amazing painter and human being! …but artists always look for a different path 🙏🏻
This just popped up in my feed. Thank you wonderful algorithm for introducing this inspiring human being to me
the subjects, skill, scale and speed like holy hell just amazing! yet another artist to look up to, thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you Liu. Your words, and your work, are so inspiring.
So beautiful and inspiring.
Best art I’ve seen in a long time. A true master.
Ordinary people are fascinating and teach us about the beauty of life. I like the paintings and the process of making the art. Thanks
One of the most profound videos you will ever see. Not just about art, about life...and how to appreciate all facets of it. Amazing person there I look forward to learning more. And the sheriff...a real man there who cares. It was right to paint his image and his family, something reserved for queen and kings. The queens and kings of this world are fake. This King is real...
He is such a pure soul!
My new favorite artist
小东老师值得人欣赏与尊重
❤ buen ser humano
Me encanta la enseñanza de de gente como este artista tan empático. GRACIAS DESDE ARGENTINA
Nicely edited! Thank you so much Art21 for all these priceless documentaries...
这么好的视频、可惜关注的人太少，世界上最好的写生画家。

Just stunning! What a truly amazing artist! Thank you for posting.
I love classic paintings, I watch many videos of different painters whatever i come across in the You tube, His paintings are very touching...it expresses people's daily life in every society.
There is no doubt in my mind you could argue that he's the best living painter. He's no Manet (he's untouchable) but he's our Manet.
inspirational knowing where I'm from and seeing other artists doing great work like this
What a simple but powerful message of hope Though a creative dignified man… amazing talent. We are all brothers & sisters by ONE🙏creator.
Thank you for sharing your kind and generous soul!you are an inspiration and good role model to all mankind
"for me, people are people"
I am an artist,I paint mostly animals dog's, horses etc.Im very impressed with your work.The Chinese seem much more relaxed than Americans.
Beautiful. ✨
This is amazing!!!!!!!
A nice message painted!!! 💛💙💚🫂🧢🎨
Wow, just wow. Amazing work.
Thank you.
Such an amazing artist. He really captures people’s lives beautifully.
an ACTUALLY GOOD painter.
fantastic show
Thank you for this amazing video. I have always love art, I don’t know how to express the deep feeling towards it. At the moment he said people to people, I’m touched and overwhelmed. I feel relieved and it reminds me of world is wild, don’t be too harsh for yourself as the moment I’m always struggling on getting a job since graduating, art will always by my side.
I love this!
You are a brilliant painter for people. what a wonderful talent. God bless you, always.
Beautiful 🙏

Pure ideology
genuine person , but paintings suck , lack of sketch skills
You don't understant art！
@@yong1960 so what ? who are you ?so you really good at art huh ? then show me your piece of work , I bet you know nothing about art
@@yong1960 come on , show me your work and send it to me , so I can stomp on it to clean my feet , then shovel it to the trash can
@@yong1960 go to your mama's house and ask her how to spell "understand" correctly
You can find his drawing online he draws well, not everybody paints from detailed under drawings. He needs very little information to paint from.
Magnífico
