PROJECT STATEMENT
Seaside Compositions is a painting exhibition by Kai Liu that celebrates the dynamic interplay between land, sea, plants, and sky through semi-abstract art. This collection showcases eight paintings that depict the intricate layers of coastal landscapes, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. Inspired by rugged coastlines and serene shores, each piece captures the visual complexity of the seaside. The bold brushstrokes, textured layers, and vibrant hues reflect the ever-changing moods of the coastal environment, creating a visual symphony that resonates with nature.
