Against his signature black backdrop, Liu Shuishi renders Poseidon – the God of Sea – through confident, abstract strokes of deep blue and electrifying teal that capture both the ocean’s vastness and the divine power that governs it. Liu’s visual mastery reveals itself in seemingly effortless yet precisely calculated marks: two simple dots and a curved line suggest Poseidon’s eyes and mouth, demonstrating how the artist can distill complex mythological essence into elemental forms. This deceptive simplicity carries a subtle humor that distinguishes Liu’s work, the kind of assured touch found only in seasoned artists.
