2005
Shenzhen’s Dafen Village is a centre of oil painting production famous for cheap and quick replicas of famous artworks. Liu Ding hired thirteen painters from the village to create these forty landscapes. They were given two hours to copy a composition Liu had selected, with each painter focusing on one element from the sample, like the sky or the cranes. Liu then installed the paintings at the 2005 Guangzhou Triennial, an international contemporary art exhibition, blurring the boundary between imitation and authorship to question the mass production of images.
