Liu Mengzhou's Flickering Embers

A large-scale oil on canvas, Liu Mengzhou's Flickering Embers arrives framed in gold-finished aluminum at a commanding sixty-four inches in height — a scale that demands a wall worthy of it. The painterly surface carries the depth and warmth one expects from oil, its title suggesting an atmospheric quality that rewards sustained attention. From the John Richard collection, it is the kind of work that anchors a room rather than merely decorating it.
