Presented by Ro2 Art, Arrested Identity is the first solo exhibition by artist Xiao Lu Liu. It explores the often untold struggle of identity forming in toxic socio-cultural environment. The artist presents Original prints with characters in impossible, mysterious, and absurd activities revealing the emotional and spiritual suffering of their disconnection from a genuine, authentic self. Symbols, analogies, and satires are used by Liu to guide the viewer through the narratives while leaving room open to interpretation. The works create ever-shifting dynamics between the recognizable and the unseen, and between conviction and reality. It challenges the viewers to ponder their own forming of identities.
