The 2×29-metre murals, done in oil on aluminium, have a nature-based theme showcasing the seven essences of healthy living – wellness, creativity, growth, nourishment, energy, kinship and longevity.

A multi-discipline visual artist, Liu has won many awards both in Malaysia and internationally. His artworks have been exhibited in many countries, including the United Kingdom, Austria, France, Italy, Monaco, Japan, Indonesia, Mauritius, the Philippines and Singapore.

He is the first Malaysian artist to have exhibited at MOYA Annuale 2013 –Young Art Global, Museum of Young Art (MOYA) in Vienna, Austria.

Liu is known for his experimental and exploration of UV lights and electronic materials, creating avant-garde artworks.

His artwork has been collected by National Art Gallery, Malaysia; Museum of Young Art (MOYA), Austria; Galeri Seni Johor, Malaysia; Budi Penyayang Foundation, Malaysia; Tan Sri Robert Kuok Hock Nien, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and private collectors.

Liu is currently the Head of Administration cum Head of the Fine Art Department, and Senior Lecturer at the Malaysian Institute of Art.

As the murals at JM will span the entire height of the lift shafts of 29 metres, Liu has engaged the help of two apprentices and the painting work has been broken up into more manageable chunks.

When finally installed at JM, the mural will be a celebration of the wonders of nature, perfectly fitting JM’s slogan of “Bungalow-inspired living”.
