About Dr. Allison Liu

​​

Dr. Allison Liu Daisong is an artist, scholar, collector, and founder of Song Art Foundation. Holding a PhD in Aesthetics from Renmin University of China, her practice is distinguished by the integration of artistic creation and academic inquiry. Alongside her studio practice, she has published research on modern and contemporary Asian art and has been invited to lecture at universities, museums, and cultural institutions in Singapore and China.
 

Working across ink, acrylic, and oil painting, Dr. Liu explores the evolving possibilities of shanshui (mountain-and-water painting) within a contemporary context. Rooted in the traditions of classical Chinese painting while engaging with contemporary visual language, her works investigate the relationship between inheritance and innovation. Through processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, traditional landscape forms are transformed into new visual structures. In series such as Spring Mountains and the "alienation" series, landscape becomes both subject and source, generating a visual language that moves between representation and abstraction.
 

Dr. Liu has exhibited internationally, including the Singapore National Day Art Exhibition, the Beijing International Ink Painting Invitational Exhibition, the Shenzhen Technology University International Contemporary Art Exhibition, and 100 Years of Singapore Art. Her solo exhibitions have been presented at Art Stage Singapore, The American Club Singapore, Singapore Yachting Festival, Hainan Clearwater Bay Yacht Club, and Renmin University Museum. Her works are held in private collections across Southeast Asia, Greater China, Japan, Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

刘岱松博士的创作着力于探索山水意境，出古入今，根基深厚的笔墨功力汲取了中国古典绘画的精髓，重彩设色意在恢复高古的华丽和繁盛，表现方法复杂多变充满了现代性的探索。收藏群体广布于大中华区、欧洲、北美、中东和东盟国家。整体呈现出源自古典，融合当代的视觉语言。在山水画的形态表现上，她将结构明确、构图讲究的具象山水，逐渐向抽象和半抽象方向推进，在层层解构中对山水进行着重构。从结构严谨的《春山无尽》到重构以后的《疏离之虎》——其背景来自山水，主体又充满了山水，山水成为主体的灵感与能量来源。
 

作品曾受邀参加深圳、大阪及釜山国际艺术博览会、纪念中国新中国成立70周年北京国际水墨邀请展、新加坡国庆美展、深圳技术大学国际当代艺术展、“狮城美术百年光华”新加坡华文媒体集团百年庆典暨秋斋收藏特展；曾在艺术登陆新加坡、新加坡美国俱乐部、新加坡游艇节、中国人民大学博物馆举办个展。收藏群体广布于大中华区、欧洲、北美、中东、日本和东盟国家。
 

她的学术研究专注在海外有重要影响力的华人艺术家，己出版过关于徐悲鸿、林学大、陈文希、钟泗滨、杨可均等艺术大家。她为北京故宫和美国大都会美术馆收藏的宋、元、明等古代书画撰写评鉴，2021年由安徽美术出版社付梓出版。

From Dr. Liu

​

Often approached and asked, if one should collect art for fun or for assets, good quality arts are for both and great collectors are able to balance both. Masterpieces not only carry strong aesthetic value, but are also the alternative assets with limited risks and impressive uptrend. National heritage helps to boost a nation's morale and to mold an harmonious society. Family heritage helps to build an amicable atmosphere.

 

We have been doing in-depth research on the first generation pioneer artists of Singapore and established masters of the Great China area, such as Chen Wen Hsi, Cheong Soo Pieng, Liu Kang, and Zhang Daqian to name a few and have curated exhibitions at museums for established artists and spoken at renowned global art forums and universities and are building the Asian Art Documentary Archives.
