1974年生于中国安徽，现工作并生活于北京宋庄。他是一位独立艺术家与策展人，长期致力于将梦境经验与精神意识转化为具有强烈视觉张力的艺术语言，是中国当代以“梦境超现实”风格著称的重要艺术家之一。刘国义的创作主要围绕“梦境”与“幻想”的视觉建构展开，其作品通过绘画、雕塑与版画等多种媒介，描绘出一种游走于现实与虚幻之间的精神世界。画面中的人物常带有精灵、面具、兽化或半人半神的特征，置身于漂浮、变形或充满象征意义的空间之中，形成一种介于童话、玄幻与心理现实之间的图像叙事。他的绘画风格融合了超现实主义的象征手法与东方传统对“意象”与“气韵”的重视，使作品呈现出独特的神秘气质与灵性张力。
在艺术语言上，刘国义以细腻、诚挚的笔触和丰富的色彩构造出复杂但和谐的画面。他善于在细节中隐藏象征，利用图像间的模糊关系和空间的漂移感，引导观者进入一个超越现实逻辑的“潜意识景观”。其作品不仅反映了个体心理与梦境经验的深层结构，也映射出当代社会中人类普遍的精神焦虑与超越渴望。自2010年代起，刘国义的作品逐步获得广泛国际关注。他曾在北京今日美术馆、798第零空间、798杨国际画廊、大河湾美术馆、深圳木星美术馆、朴石美术馆等地举办多次重要个展。同时，其作品多次入选法国、加拿大、美国、日本、韩国等地的国际展览与艺术博览会，并被多家公共艺术机构、基金会及私人藏家收藏，彰显出他在国际当代艺术语境中的影响力。
Born in Anhui, China in 1974, he currently works and lives in Songzhuang, Beijing. He is an independent artist and curator who has long been committed to transforming dream experience and spiritual consciousness into an artistic language with strong visual tension. He is one of the important artists in contemporary China known for his "dream surrealism" style. Liu Guoyi's creation mainly revolves around the visual construction of "dream" and "fantasy". His works depict a spiritual world that wanders between reality and fantasy through various media such as painting, sculpture and printmaking. The characters in the picture often have the characteristics of elves, masks, beasts or half-human and half-gods, and are placed in a floating, deformed or symbolic space, forming an image narrative between fairy tales, fantasy and psychological reality. His painting style combines the symbolic techniques of surrealism with the oriental tradition's emphasis on "image" and "aura", giving his works a unique mysterious temperament and spiritual tension. In terms of artistic language, Liu Guoyi constructs complex but harmonious pictures with delicate and sincere brushstrokes and rich colors. He is good at hiding symbols in details, using the ambiguous relationship between images and the sense of drift in space to guide the viewer into a "subconscious landscape" that transcends the logic of reality. His works not only reflect the deep structure of individual psychology and dream experience, but also reflect the universal spiritual anxiety and desire for transcendence of human beings in contemporary society. Since the 2010s, Liu Guoyi's works have gradually gained widespread international attention. He has held many important solo exhibitions in Beijing Today Art Museum, 798 Zero Space, 798 Yang International Gallery, Dahewan Art Museum, Shenzhen Jupiter Art Museum, Pu Shi Art Museum and other places. At the same time, his works have been selected for international exhibitions and art fairs in France, Canada, the United States, Japan, South Korea and other places, and have been collected by many public art institutions, foundations and private collectors, demonstrating his influence in the context of international contemporary art.
