"When we look at his [Liu Geng-Gu] life's work, we find that oxen often appear. They reveal that he always remembered with gratitude the kind gentleness of the oxen that silently plowed this land."

"Art is the greatest comfort in an artist’s life, therefore an artist’s spirit is expressed and lives on through his art work.” - Liu Geng-Gu. Excerpt from Lin Kuo-Chang's Director's Preface, Former Director-General, National Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall, Taipei Taiwan. 2/2

[Song of My Land @LiuGengGu]

“Art is a mission given to the artist by God, once God has given an artist the talent, the artist must complete the mission to create something remarkable and express his gratitude for the land;" 1/2

[Song of My Land @LiuGengGu]

"I believe that Liu Geng-Gu's artwork is not only very detailed and exceptional in form, but provokes a deep sense of meaning and is purifying to the soul. This makes his artwork an important asset to Taiwan."-Lin Kuo-Chang, Former Director-General, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. 6/6

[Song of My Land @LiuGengGu]

"Liu Geng-Gu received wide acclaim for his artwork; he is also the one of a minority of people who delved into large scale pieces of art in the pre-war and post-war period." 1/6

[Song of My Land @LiuGengGu]

"In addition, these philosophers often spoke on the ideas of mystery, depth, infinity, insignificance, and distance - ideas which are represented in Liu Geng-Gu's works. He used his artwork as a medium through which he expresses his life perspective." 5/6

"Mr. Liu's personal name was Cheng-Hsiung; 'Geng-Gu' ("Plowing the Vale") is actually his sobriquet. With the same quiet tirelessly hard-working nature, Mr. Liu also helped to cultivate our artistic realm." - Lin Po-Ting, Former VP of the National Palace Museum, Taiwan.
