Beyond ink: contemporary ink art exhibition

Exhibition date: May 25, 2024 – July 7, 2024

Location: Four Seasons Art Gallery, Foshan City

This exhibition showcases a series of recent works by Li Junchao that bring a fresh and innovative approach to traditional ink painting. Li boldly experiments with form and brushwork, especially in the depiction of heads, breaking away from conventional standards of expressive ink techniques.

A key highlight is the artist's ability to revitalize ancient ink traditions by integrating new ways of portraying iconic figures, incorporating their representative symbols in a harmonious and meaningful manner. The large-scale works also invite viewers to reflect on themes that span from human civilization to extraterrestrial life.

By creating a new brush-and-ink language suited to contemporary society and exploring novel subject matter, this exhibition paves a new path for innovation in Chinese figure painting, pushing the boundaries of traditional ink art into the future.
