Shi Liang

Public auction-market sources establish Shi Liang as a Chinese painter born in 1963, working in the Asian Modern and Contemporary category, based on records compiled by MutualArt. No exact birth date, birthplace, education, or training has been independently confirmed. The name is also used by a Chinese lawyer and politician born in Changzhou, Jiangsu, in 1900, who was active in Shanghai legal and political circles until her death in 1985, and by a Chinese film and television actor born in 1960; neither is documented as a visual artist and neither should be conflated with the painter described here. A separate painter with a similar romanized name, Z. S. Liang, works in American West and Native American subject matter with a confirmed education and exhibition record at Legacy Gallery and other venues; research indicates this is a distinct individual whose record should not be attributed to Shi Liang. No source located confirms whether Shi Liang the painter is living or deceased as of 2026. No obituary or death notice has been found, and no 2025 or 2026 source explicitly confirms current living status, so it is presumed but unconfirmed.

No exhibition history, critical essay, or named-critic assessment specific to Shi Liang could be located in major art publications, museum records, or gallery archives. Any critical commentary associated with the name in available sources belongs to other, separately documented individuals, including Z. S. Liang and Shi Lifeng, and is not attributed here.

Shi Liang's recorded auction high is USD 655,098 for the painting Between, sold at Beijing Huachen Auctions in 2013; the exact sale date and sale location are not published in the source consulted. MutualArt records roughly 45 to 47 works by this artist offered at auction since 2005, with realized prices reaching up to USD 52,491 for works on paper. A separate painter sharing part of the name, Z. S. Liang, holds an unrelated recorded auction high of USD 187,200 for Winter Hunters at CDA Art Auction in Reno, Nevada, on 24 July 2010; that result belongs to a different, independently documented artist and is not part of this record.

The documented auction record for Shi Liang, USD 655,098 for Between at Beijing Huachen Auctions in 2013, comes from a specialist art-market database, but the exact sale date, education, gallery representation, exhibition history, and living or deceased status remain unconfirmed. Collectors should also note that at least two other painters, Z. S. Liang and Shi Lifeng, use similar romanized names and have separate, well-documented markets; any sale record or biographical claim should be confirmed against direct documentation before being attributed to Shi Liang.
