Liu Fei (artist)

Liu Fei (Chinese: 刘非, born 1964) is a Chinese contemporary artist based in Beijing.

He was born in Nanjing and later graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Nanjing Art Academy in 1989.

He is most known for his Bold+Trendy series of mostly grayscale paintings which feature bald women wearing bright red lipstick and pre-revolutionary Chinese school uniforms of the 1920 and 1930s, often times holding various firearms. His Bold+Trendy series has been the feature of various international auctions.

He has since progressed to producing landscape paintings with a surreal twist.
