Τhe artwork ‘The Swing’ instigates YuLiang Liu’s creative journey. Developed during a period of self-growth and acceptance, this piece introduces Liu’s intentions to provoke discussions on representation and beauty standards through manipulating Europe’s cultural heritage. His technique is simple yet highly effective. Liu uses digital photography to imitate the character’s position in the original work. Then he recreates the part of the painting where he is supposed to be placed and in the end, he edits the two images together until a perfected result is achieved. With this highly skilled technique, Liu accomplishes to add contemporary context to classic masterpieces and make them relevant in the 21st century.
