“Locales: North Florida’s Plein Air Landscapes” will feature 30 oil paintings by Nan Liu that reflect his experiences in Tallahassee, Florida. “Locales: North Florida’s Plein Air Landscapes” seeks to express the joyous sensations Liu feels from the natural world, especially in the many undisturbed and undestroyed locales. Liu enjoys the rich natural beauty of the lakes, gardens and national parks. The beauty found in the lakes, gardens and national parks Liu paints show the value and diverse beauty that is around us. This beauty is expressed through the landscape paintings in a way that inspires the viewer to feel reawakened and cherish the natural, undisturbed landscape.

Nan Liu works primarily in oil paint. Liu’s passion for art began at a young age, with him studying Chinese Brush painting and calligraphy in Tianjin, China, with his primary influence being contemporary painter Fan Zeng. The overall theme within his works is nature and its presence. Liu’s work showcases the cross-cultural perspective of contemporary America. In the landscape paintings featured in “Locales: North Florida’s Plein Air Landscapes”, Liu intends to showcase the natural beauty of the landscapes surrounding him in such a way that one will cherish the undisturbed landscape.

Nan Liu received his master’s in Art Education from the University of Arkansas in 2001, and his MFA in painting at Florida State University in 2006 where he also received his PhD in Education in 2009. Currently, Liu is a professor of Visual Arts, Humanities and Theatre at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). His work is also part of public and private collections. Examples include the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Florida State University, and also Florida A&M University (FAMU). For the past two decades, Liu has also displayed his work in numerous group and solo exhibitions.
