Liu Shuai is an artist and insect researcher based in the People’s Republic of China.

In his works, animals and other creatures become the main characters and are given emotional imagination, such as homesickness. His work is related to specific locations and through research in different areas, he collects the traces left by animals and connects them with local culture, history, and anecdotes; to tell the story of where animals and people come from and where they go.
