"Flying Fish" (2011) is one of the most accomplished and charming oil paintings, by risinimportant emerging Chinese Contemporary female artist Liu Tingting (China, b. 1983), that belongs to her iconic series of exaggerated portraits of young girls is some sort of tomboyish or surreal narrative. This work is unframed measuring 31.5 x 25.25 inches in excellent condition. A young girl is painted against a muted tiled background and wears a mix of traditional and modern-day dress. As if completely natural, the young girl quietly gazes at the tropical fish that swim through the scene, brilliantly conflating fantasy and reality.
