Zhou Li (Multilingual edition)
Zhou Li (Multilingual edition) captures the artist's acute sensory observations of the world through her lyrical abstract paintings. She explores lightness and shadow, solidity and dissolution, and the sense of being. By building upon the history of European painting and the central tenets of traditional Chinese art, Zhou Li develops a distinct painterly language. Her work features free-flowing charcoal lines that intersect with circles of paint, creating a gauzy, gossamer palette.
Organized into three sections, this publication presents pivotal bodies of work. Lost in Green, created in the unique year of 2020, turns attention to the elemental shifts of spring, harnessing its powerful symbolism of flux and regeneration. Tracing The Peach Blossom Spring uses colour as a healing force and tool for self-reflection, expressing emotional journeys in response to life cycles of birth and grief. Water and Dreams focuses on the universal motif of water, drawing upon its rich cultural symbolism and complex representations throughout art history, religion, and mythology.
Insightful and poetic texts accompany these bodies of work, with a distinctive thematic colourway responding to each section.
