Lilt-K. 2015. Plexiglass, wood, paint. 19 x 23.25"
Jacque Liu was born in Taipei, Taiwan and currently lives in Philadelphia, PA. He received an M.F.A. from Cranbrook Academy of Art, a B.F.A. from Alfred University, and a Fulbright Scholarship to study at the Universität der Künste Berlin. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, and is the recipient of numerous awards and grants. His work and projects have been reviewed in media such as The New York Times, Newsweek, National Public Radio, and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“Throughout every body of work that I make, there seems to be a desire to understand the notion of place,” explains Liu, who’s travelled extensively and lived in places such as Taipei, St. Louis, Berlin, and Detroit, before landing in Philadelphia in 2008.

“To understand place,” Liu continues, “my eye gravitates towards everyday architectural elements, often focusing on windows, doors, vents, staircases, chairs, and abandoned houses in the vastness of a cityscape.”


​Lilt is a recent body of work that consists of wooden shelves with acrylic sheets placed upon them.  Both the wood and the acrylic forms were created based on shapes that Liu found within urban environments. The work recalls Liu’s memory of places while re-contextualizing the history of the object or site in his art.
