Monthly Salon: Luminance | Dapeng Liu's Solo Presentation
Monthly Salon is where new works enter the PoMo Art Club ecosystem for the very first time. Each month, a curated selection of 5–7 artworks is presented in a rotating, salon-style display, inviting close looking, conversation, and re-encounter. This is not a conventional exhibition — it is a threshold: a space where works are first seen, discussed, and set in motion within our collection.
This month's presentation is a solo exhibition by Dapeng Liu, titled Luminance: a body of work considering how light structures, transforms, and defines the way we see. Spanning geometric-infused landscapes, figurative paintings drawn from found and personal imagery, and layered abstract works, Liu traces a single concern, light's capacity to alter an ordinary moment, as it moves across three distinct visual languages. Beijing-born and Sydney-based, Liu draws on his academic grounding in Chinese landscape history, where nature was held not as observed fact but as inner state, to examine how contemporary vision reshapes historical understandings of landscape. A finalist in the 2026 Sovereign Asian Art Prize and three-time Archibald Prize finalist, he is represented by Art Atrium and Art Atrium 48 in Sydney, and Otomys in Melbourne.
