Shan Li

Shan Li (Born 1942) is active/lives in China.  Shan Li is known for Painting (political Pop movement, Mao).

At Li Shan's solo exhibition, "Building the Rouge Empire: Paintings from 1976-1992," held in Hong Kong in 1994, the artist showed for the first time a painting from 1988, entitled Surface No. 2.   The Shanghai critic Wu Liang commented on the work as follows: "In another of his grid paintings, [Li Shan] has added the gaudy face of a woman, and equally gaudy lotus blossoms. Later, in another two more paintings entitled Surface No. 2, the thick rouge on the gaudy woman's face and the earlier images of lotus blossoms reappeared unexpectedly, as if the genes of his later Rouge Empire series were lurking therein."1  As Wu Liang suggested, from the time the gaudy female figure and lotus blossoms made their initial appearance in Li's painting, Surface No. 2 and up through the mid-1990s, Li Shan continued to paint these symbolic images, sometimes combining them with portraits of Mao Zedong, the five-pointed star and other Chinese political symbols.   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 23296 characters.]  Artist bio
