Aphrodite

2025

Oil on canvas

36 x 36 in (91.5 x 91.5 cm)

$22,000

Aphrodite, known as Venus in Roman mythology, is the ancient Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, passion, and procreation. Against the blue and green backdrop, the goddess is rendered in a stunning array of orange hues, while tiny black-and-white dots suggest her eyes. By fragmenting the divine feminine into chromatic abstraction, Liu destabilizes the classical ideal, transforming the goddess from an object of perfection into a site of interpretation. The painting thus becomes a meditation on how beauty, when liberated from rigid categorization, reveals itself as fluid, subjective, and perpetually in flux.
