Ink artist Li Xueming blends the minimalist style that marks classic Chinese painting — loose strokes that leave a vast emptiness in the composition and low-saturated colors — with a celebration of vitality.
Li's ongoing exhibition Infinite Imager at the National Art Museum of China runs until May 6. The works on display reflect his accumulation of ink traditions throughout decades and his pursuit of spirituality that connects him with ancient scholars of great wisdom.
Meanwhile, his highly summarized strokes celebrate nature and a love for one's homeland. Li's works depict vegetables and fruits, trees and birds, children and the elderly to convey a sense of innocence. Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to view Neverland, one of his more acclaimed works.
