NOTE: In a genre where elegance and the portrayal of an ideal serene life dictate aesthetic and fashion, Li Jin’s paintings exude a crude sense of reality rarely seen in mainstream Chinese ink paintings. On first impression, it would be all too easy to discount Li Jin as merely another vulgar genre artist, but repeated inspection rewards the viewer with greater depths. Born to a traditional Chinese family in 1958, Li’s background reflects quite a different upbringing. He received formal training in ink painting at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts; the renowned portrait painter Zhou Sicong, Li’s aunt, influenced his early artistic directions. Li’s journeys to the Dunhuang caves in 1981 and Tibet in 1984 opened his eyes to Tibetan culture. Tibet, its sun, colours and people, has had a lifelong influence on Li’s art, empowering it with optimism and richness.

Amid the laughter and lavishness, Li suggests that physical enjoyment may be transient. His concern for mortality is hinted at in the lack of facial expression in his figures, suggesting a fleeting sense of fear. In portraying this unembellished reality with humour, Li’s paintings infuse a sense of positivity and resonate with the spirit of a daily life that is filled with contrasting emotions.
