Liu Jianbin is an ink artist and an art educator from China. He is also a member of the China Artists Association with decades of experience.

Liu's distinct individual style makes him stand out among contemporary Chinese ink artists. While inheriting the figurative style and realistic meticulous art skills from the academy, he has uniquely developed his artistic language which is a kind of subtle and indistinct manner.

In terms of modeling, in order to strengthen the characters and themes of the figures in his works, he deforms and exaggerates some body parts in order to express the different personalities and temperaments. Moreover, adding some elements borrowed from folk art makes the style of his works more hyperbolic and unique.

In recent years, the main theme of Liu Jianbin's works has been shifted from figures to landscapes, especially ancient dwellings. Water, ink, and colour crash and blend on his rice paper; houses, rooves, walls, and threes contrast and celebrate each other's beauty. In a refined style, Liu Jianbin's works reflect the rusticity and quietness of traditional Chinese villages, records the laborious work of local fishermen, or merely captures a life moment that seems to be very ordinary but touches the bottom of hearts. Through his precious painting, Liu happily depicts the Chinese lifestyles and praises the diligence, courage, and passion of the life of Chinese people. He insists on the innovation of the subject matter and content of his works. Although his recent oeuvres are mostly based on daily life, they show the lifestyle and philosophy that only belong to Chinese people. He also hopes to record the ephemeral homes and traditions in his works.
