‘Home’ Triptych
Acrylic and gold leaf on skateboards
This triptych depicts a domestic daytime scene centering around the dining table, which serves as the nucleus of daily activities for a Chinese household. Skateboards were selected as the canvas to resonate with Li’s close friends who commissioned this artwork, who are of Chinese heritage and from LA.
"Home" Triptych
Shan Shui I, II, & III
Risograph on 11”x14” paper
Inspired by traditional Chinese landscape paintings, Li reimagined a series of dreamy Shan Shui / 山水 sceneries, with fluid compositions of natural elements. The interpretation of these new landscapes is conveyed by a contemporary touch of sculptural forms and intensely vivid colors through the medium of Risograph prints.
Risograph uses environmentally friendly soy-based ink and prints through separate layers of vibrant and fluorescent colors that cannot be achieved through regular ink. It carries a tactile quality on paper with unique imperfections.

Vase I, II, & Quadriptych Foil Prints
Ink and silver foil on 11”x14” paper
Taking inspiration from Chinese celadon ceramics from the Song Dynasty, Li wanted to explore the becoming of the Crackle Glaze and how the pattern historically emerged from being considered defective accidents to being perceived as one the most appreciated aesthetics that kilns sought to master. The crackles showcase a motif of abstraction that is highly controlled yet extremely organic. Foil was adopted as a choice of medium by the Artist to convey the reflectivity of the glaze.
