Bingqing Liu graduated from Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts in China in 2021 with a Bachelor's degree in Printmaking and is currently pursuing further studies in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art. Her work is inspired by the sounds of nature and minimalist, repetitive music, and she is fascinated by the emotional changes elicited by subtle differences in tones. She strives to capture these intangible emotions, and memories, and through repetitive lines, nuanced layers of color, and square structures, she reveals the intertwining of order and perception, rationality and sensibility within her inner world. "The beauty is not in the rose, the beauty is in your heart." Bingqing is profoundly inspired by Agnes Martin’s statement. Bingqing hopes that her pure lines and subtle colors will convey a serene strength, evoking the viewer's focus and inner feelings. She hopes to express warmth and texture through her artwork. Bingqing's printmaking primarily involves techniques of drypoint and etching, and she uses overlay printing to complete her final images. She uses a long ruler to engrave lines of varying lengths horizontally across the plate to explore the internalization of emotions through repetitive actions. Bingqing believes that these lines in her work encompass concepts of musicality, time and healing, while also being seen as repetitive physical scratches. The process of repetition carries the essence of time and records its passage. Bingqing is currently experimenting with combining printmaking and Su embroidery. She has observed that incorporating the traditional craft of Su embroidery can more deeply emphasize the connection between personal identity, the environment of her hometown, historical culture, and childhood memories. The unconscious act of embroidery also allows Bingqing to more freely capture and record her immediate emotions. The similar repetitive creative processes in both techniques deepen Bingqing’s understanding of traditional methods and Zen-thought meditation. It also allowed Bingqing to experience a healing effect during the creation process. Her application of traditional techniques reflects her questioning of the diminishing perception of things in the modern digital world. She hopes that through the elements of pure handcraftsmanship, she and her audience can rediscover the most primal emotions and the purest poetic expressions.
