YongMei Liu

  • Multi-fiber art

Born in China, YongMei Liu always knew that textiles were her source of inspiration and her creative material. Trained at the Fine Arts School in Beijing, she then became the photography editor for the Chinese magazine “Psychology.”She has been living in France since 2008. Her artistic progression is spectacular. She transitioned from artisanal craftsmanship to an artistic practice where she revealed her true dimension by working with indigo. She continued her training by visiting Asian tribes in southern China to deepen her knowledge of this dizzying blue.Today, she is taking a new step by working on the effect of rust on fabric and creating textile sculptures inspired by Japanese shibori. She folds, sews, ties, dyes silk and cotton but stops her gesture before unfolding the fabric. Thus, she creates a kind of mystery around her sculptures. The material alone will keep the secret of the dye.Guided tour: daily at 3 PM (FR)

Commented tour every day at 3 P.M. in French Each work of art in this movement questions our future, our origins and our possible reincarnation. But we have no answer, the artist doesn’t either. The answer lies deep within the folded fabric because the important part remains the question, the interrogation. It’s not the answer. This brings us to the Heart Sutra which tells us that it’s not worth seeing if the grass is greener on the other side because we’re already there. Everything is here, around us, within us, it’s up to us to believe it. We are invited to a sort of spiritual quest, but we don’t have to see all of this in her work. We can see something completely different. There is another invention in her creations. We are faced with plants, lichens, moss, new species of plants straight from the nature-loving artist’s imagination. There are also jellyfish, new insects which are just some of the many possible reincarnations. YongMei Liu invites you to take a closer look at each of her pieces, each thread, each knot, each piece of fabric. You will realise that with each fold that ends, comes a new thread and a new beginning. You can travel through each of her pieces in a way that wouldn’t have been possible if Mei hadn’t one day decided to stop where she did. That movement is what we create. The end of something is only ever the start of something new. 2.13.0.0
