Shutao Liao, a contemporary art master, the father of Instinctive Art, traveling through the darkness of thinking, Shutao Liao is giving source of visionary inquiry above knowledge, leaving behind any kind of doubt, mysteriously haunting shapes of thoughts and souls, making the invisible visible.
Shutao Liao leads us through his mystical and intuitive dream. Regardless of all possible art movements he determines the direction of his art and soul. His style is an unprecedented mix of visual elements and technical skills. His work is unique in its kind.
In his paintings, influences from around the world are drawn, such as symbols and mythical figures. In a world of destruction and construction he is drawing the structural elements of his soul, embracing the patterns of memories on the background of life in his art. On one side Shutao shows us the importance of self knowledge, self development, self creation; on the other side he is aware that the environmental conditions influence his life too.
In the different themes (The Other Side of Memory, Totem, Legend of Night, A New Being, Between, Passing and Nest) the seemingly incoherent finds coherence, perfection versus imperfection, knowledge beyond knowledge, consciousness versus sub consciousness....
With primary colors Shutao Liao gives depth through different materials and unique shapes. His soul expands in the worship of creation.
Shutao Liao explores the stream of his thoughts and soul, instinctively, sometimes sober and exploratory, later complex and bold. In Legend of Night darkness is shown: decay, suffocating pain, struggle for life. There is no shelter, no safe place in this universe. It's a bloody scream of happiness, freedom and understanding! In Nest he is giving birth to a warm and gentle feeling exploring the rituals of life woven into beautiful symbols. It's about the awareness of being home and a shelter forever to stay. All his creations reveal an imperishable beauty. Shutao Liao's powerful expression reflects a deep connection with life. That's why I would like to mention the beautiful saying of Swami Vivekanada: You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
In his conscious and unconscious quest for the truth the artist gives expression to the hidden in our society today!
I truly believe that Shutao Liao's creations are the best of today's art world. This great artist will make history because of his unique and totally new approach in art, Instinctive Art.
A glorious future is waiting for him!
