Nian Liu is a London-based ceramic and footwear artist originally from China whose practice is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of heritage, culture, medium, and craft. By blending traditional Chinese aesthetics with contemporary ceramic techniques, Nian reimagines cultural symbols and practices, creating works that challenge and expand the narrative of craft and identity.
Deeply rooted in cultural heritage, Nian’s work draws inspiration from archival materials, historical artefacts, and the stories they carry. Each piece becomes a dialogue between the past and the present, merging traditional techniques with contemporary contexts. Through this intersection, Nian explores how objects can embody both history and innovation, serving as vessels for storytelling and self-reflection.
