LI Shan 李珊
LI Shan (b. 1957), who now lives and works in Beijing, is a self-taught female artist whose diverse practice shaped the early avant-garde movement in China. Without official endorsement, LI practised art as a member of the Yuyuantan Lake School of Painting in the 1970s and later joined the No Name (Wuming) Group. During this period, the artist focused on subject matter that she would revisit throughout her practice: courtyards, pagodas, city streets, country roads, architecture, etc, which are also present in her recent works.
LI Shan‘s solo exhibitions include“A Red, Red Blossom” (Don Gallery, Shanghai, 2023), "Drawing and Drawing: Heading Out and Bending Down" (Don Gallery, Shanghai, 2021), "Li Shan's List" (STAR Gallery, Beijing, 2021), "Li Shan" (Art Basel Hong Kong Don Gallery Stand, Hong Kong, 2019), "Fuxing Renaissance" (Don Gallery, Shanghai, 2017), "Li Shan: New and Selected Works" (James Cohan Gallery, Shanghai, 2015), "Works from the 1970s" (James Cohan Gallery, Shanghai, 2014), "Flow" (La Case, Beijing, 2007) and "Li Shan’s Solo Exhibition" (TRA Gallery, Beijing, 2006). Her works are included in distinguished museum collections such as the M+ Museum, Hong Kong, Zendai, and Guangdong Museum of Art, as well as several private collections in China, Australia, Canada, Europe and the United States.
