Multiple layers of Li Wenguang’s artworks
Print Edition
WHEN we return to our daily life, it is easy to find that the simplest forms sometimes contain multiple layers of humanity. Similarly, artist Li Wenguang creates the artwork of mosaic blocks in which the simplest lines bring unexpected energy on the canvas.
Opening on Friday at the 1933 Contemporary, the exhibition titled “Zao,” or chisel in English, is the most showcasing of the originality of his works.
This exhibition unfolds following three trails. Firstly, the main skeleton of Li Wenguang’s works — a visual presentation of mosaic blocks or tiles on canvas. Secondly, a display of his paper works showing how the daily experience is transformed into the forms and lines of his artwork. Lastly, there is a series of his experimental artwork that combines originality with the values of the commercial society, which sees layers of prints chiseled on plaster columns.
Born in 1985, Li is a self-taught artist. He lives in the seclusion of his own home, spending eight to more than 10 hours a day with his work.
