11-Year-Old Artist LIU Xiao-yang Shows at New Venice Gallery SERICA

exhibition · 2026-08-03

'Plucking the Stars', an exhibition by Lucie Chang Fine Arts, is currently on display at SERICA Venice in the Castello district, running until August 10, 2026. This showcase features pieces by CHENG Ming-yuan William and the 11-year-old artist LIU Xiao-yang, highlighting how age influences artistic perception. The exhibition argues that true creativity stems from sensitivity rather than age. Aligning with the 61st Venice Biennale's theme 'In Minor Keys', it delves into perception, inviting viewers to reimagine landscape and memory. LIU's latest creation, 'Pluck Stars from the Sky', depicts a vast ultramarine space adorned with gold and colored tiles. SERICA Venice, named for the ancient Latin term for 'land of silk', seeks to bridge Eastern and Western art.
