Autumn on the Plateau is created with acrylic on heavyweight Xuan paper, presenting a distinctive balance between translucency and texture.
The absorbent surface of Xuan paper allows pigments to diffuse naturally, creating soft transitions and breathing spaces, while the oil layers add warmth, density, and a tactile depth — achieving harmony between the ethereal qualities of Eastern ink traditions and the expressive strength of Western painting.

The composition portrays a serene plateau in late autumn: distant snow-capped peaks contrast with golden fields, where two herders and their flock move quietly across the land. The scene embodies both the stillness of nature and the resilience of human life on the highland.

Working with acrylic and oil on Xuan paper requires exceptional mastery and confidence.
This medium challenges the artist to precisely control pigment absorption and diffusion while maintaining compositional balance. As a result, the piece carries both rarity and experimental significance — a reflection of Liu Xiaoning’s depth, sensitivity, and material innovation.
