Leo Liu Xuanqi
In his Duckman series, Liu introduces his signature motif, the rubber duck, in the backdrop of globalisation. A seemingly trivial motif, the rubber duck represents the common man in a hectic world where he remains a spectator.

A graduate in Art & Design from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Leo left his decade long career as Art director in the field of design and advertising to pursue art full-time.
His work is an ongoing reflection of personal identity embedded within popular culture. In his "Cloud" series, Leo plays with the idea of permanence and the temporal, and explores the tension that arises at the crossroads of rapid globalization.
He held his first solo exhibition “Equilibrium” (2010) in Singapore, and has maintained a consistent track record with shows in Hong Kong, Seoul, New York and Taipei.
