Liu Ye finds inspiration in literature, art history and popular Eastern and Western culture: some of his paintings explicitly mention works by other artists such as Piet Mondrian, Roger van der Weyden, the artistic movement of the Bauhaus, the books by Franz Kafka.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
