This survey exhibition of paintings by Guanting Li draws together a selection of landscape and figurative works inspired by Chinese and Western art traditions and experiences.
Through atmospheric depictions of transcendent harmony, connections are made between heaven and earth; an otherworldly realm, where the human figure is rendered as an almost insignificant spectator to the majesty of nature. Li’s figures, often in traditional Chinese costume, invite peaceful interaction. While other works celebrate flora and fauna in a more straightforward style – in a harmonious fusion of East and West.
