刘冬旭创作的雕塑融入了他对日常物品及其建筑环境的热情关注。“科技和通过科技开发的产品不断地包围和丰富我们的生活，”刘冬旭如是说。他认为雕塑与环境之间的关系与人类与科学商业环境之间的关系是平行的，这种关系往往会征服个人。通过他的艺术，刘冬旭试图解构这些现象，试图呈现其纯粹的独立的本质。

Liu Dongxu creates sculptures that incorporate his passionate attentiveness to everyday objects and their architectural environments. “Technology and the products developed through science and technology continuously encircle and enrich our lives,” states Liu. He views the relationship between sculpture and environments as parallel to the relationship between human beings and scientific-commercial environments—a relationship which tends to subjugate the individual. Through his art, Liu attempts to deconstruct these phenomena in an attempt to present their pure, independent essence.
