Life is a venture into the unknown journey, starting from the very beginning of birth. Though we have no idea of how long the journey is, we are able to enrich life as much as we want. Only if we conscientiously face all flavors of life in our journey, putting aside all suspicion and scruple, advancing bravely and surmounting ourselves continuously, we then can shine with a dazzling light in our life.
The exhibition of Adventures of Old Urchin – The Fantastic Journey of Max Liu truthfully displays the brilliant achievement of Max Liu’s exploration and painting. Unfolding the adventurous map of the old urchin, let us set sail from his Dreamy Harbor and follow each footstep to pursue his dream in the vast world; to discover his love and care for nature and animals in his Animal Grassland; to relish the subtle difference of seasonal progressive changes through his Timing Paradise; to perceive the affective feeling correlative with mother and child in his Parent-Child Village; to listen to Po Yu bird twittering his yearning for grandmom at his Po Yu Forest; to find it surprisingly filled with marvelous treasures of Max Liu’s adventure in his Primitive Tribe.
Max Liu competently and successfully played many roles in his splendid life. Appearing as a nearly almighty person, he broke through the life limitation of single role and wrote down wonderful venturing stories with his rich life experience. By way of his paintings, cultural articles, books and films, the exhibition allows us to get into the amazing exploration world of Max Liu to go through his personality of generosity, sincerity and humor as well as his attitude toward life and society. Po Yu Bird, Ki Ki, is going to be your company for this fantastic adventure.
Are you ready to go?

藝術家介紹Introduction to Artist
畫壇裡的老頑童，大家尊稱的「劉老」。
他的人間探險始於1912年，經歷91年的冒險時光，跨足多元領域，從理工走入藝術，再走入人類學裡。工程師是他的本行，但背負經濟壓力的生活卻是極為苦悶；教學對他而言是種享受，有著付出的滿足與成就感，也磨圓了個性的稜角。至於繪畫則是寄託，釋放精神上的煩悶壓抑；而人類學是興趣，更是他著迷最深的地方。
秉持著對現代繪畫的喜愛，劉老從原始藝術研究著手，因此踏入人類學的探險領域。他將探險的種種點滴集結成書，也從中汲取滋養繪畫的養分，恣意地揮灑於廣闊的創作天地，一生畫作豐富、著作繁多。
Max Liu, an old urchin in the painting circles, is respected as Lord Liu.
He began the world exploration in 1912 and was involved with different fields across technology, art and anthropology in nighty-one years of adventurous time. Engineering was his own occupation, but that did not make him felt easy under the heavy burden of life. For him, teaching was more enjoyable with the satisfaction and accomplishment of devotion, which also develop the temper personality for him. Painting for him was a spiritual commitment, releasing his depression, whereas anthropology was an interest with his most ardor.
Adhering to the affection for modern paintings, Lord Liu commenced his study from primitive art and therefore stepped into the explorative field of anthropology. He assembled dribs and drabs of his investigation into books, from which he absorbed nourish for his painting to develop a free and broad world of creation with prolific publications and works in his life.
