The works of Liu Hongwei belong to the stream of surrealism; they project a world of imagination and fantasy. Themes such as playing, disasters and handicaps appear frequently, and influences from the Western masters such as Brugel, Balthus and Chagall can easily be traced. Beyond their surreal surface, the Chinese critic Yin Shuangxi has pointed out in his essay that by means of relative ruralisation, the works of Liu Hongwei reflect the damage that man has done to nature in the process of urbanization and the erosion of the inner world of human being. This publication is the catalogue for Liu Hongwei’s solo exhibition at Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery (Hong Kong). A biography of the artist is included.

劉宏偉的畫作帶有明顯的超現實風格，他在畫布上展現的是一幕幕天馬行空的幻境。遊戲、災難和殘障這類主題在他的作品中反復出現，而布魯格爾、巴爾塔斯和夏加爾等西方大師的影響亦隨處可見。中國藝評家殷雙喜曾指出，在超現實表象的背後，劉洪偉其實是借用一些帶有鄉居風味的場景，來刻畫城市化對大自然造成的傷害和對人心的蠶食。此書是香港季豐軒為劉洪偉舉辦個展的圖錄，內附畫家簡歷。
