Li Yinghong celebrates life and family through this exhibition of ceramic sculpture and mixed media paintings. Feminine figures represent the different stages in her life and her feelings toward them, and her roles as wife and mother. Abstract paintings depict her daughter’s first moments of walking dancing, playing and more. Each sculpture, with their intricate features are expressive of Yinghong’s influences and intentions.
Li Yinghong learnt her craft in Shiwan, China, an area that has had a long history as a ceramic production centre since the Tang Dynasty. This exhibition pays homage to her daughter, family, and hometown.
