Come join us for a lively reception and discussion about the recent explosion of interest in contemporary Chinese art in Los Angeles and around the world. There will be a hosted reception with complementary wine and refreshments.

The “art talk” will be given by leading gallery and art professionals working in the field of Chinese contemporary art together with Li Qing, a young contemporary artist who is a brilliant representative of the new generation of artists from China.

With his personal perspective, Li has developed a collision technique to create two new mirror images from his analogous paintings. The viewers will be invited to analyze and examine the shifts of time, physicality, space and memory before they will be rewarded with humorous and satirical messages. Li has remarked, “I think many Chinese artists are now bringing about a change within this context; I believe that Chinese and Western heritages can coexist in the context of contemporary art history.”
