Hung Liu’s resin paintings are hybrids of the painting and printmaking processes, composed of many alternating layers of resin and oil-based pigment. The glass like surfaces with a metallic base result in complex paintings bearing a three-dimensional aspect and depth. Hung Liu has been exploring the courage and strength of women in her paintings throughout her career, Liu continues to delve into social, political, historical aspects of China's past regimes as "subject" for her works, using old photographs as source material. As a bi-cultural citizen, she is in a position to re-present and re-examine Chinese culture, past and present, while combining images from her own life experience. Korean comfort woman during the Japanese war, concubines, war heroines, as well as, victims of the Sichuan earthquake are the subjects that show a haunting yet somehow nostalgic presence in her paintings. Layering symbolism into her works is as well a unique characteristic of her paintings.
