BE OPEN Art is excited to announce Yibei Liu, a London-based figurative sculptor, as the Artist of the Month for December 2024, as voted by visitors of art.beopenfuture.com. Each month, art lovers globally choose an artist whose work most captures their attention. Liu, whose sculptures delve into the intricacies of human emotion and mental health, was the final artist selected for this distinction in 2024. Her work, created using clay and metal, seeks to make visible the often-unseen aspects of our internal worlds. In the near future, we will be selecting the Artist of the Year, who will be awarded a 1000 euro prize and offered publicity aimed at boosting their career.
