Catalogue Note
Li Huayi was born in Shanghai and studied with Wang Jimei and Zhang Chongren before moving to San Francisco in 1982 where he received his M.A. at the Academy of Art. His dramatic mountain landscapes, rooted in history but contemporary in spirit, with broad washes of ink and finely wrought twisted pines and cascading waterfalls combine a Northern Song monumentality with a Southern Song sense of intimacy. His works are in the collections of the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, the National Museum of Tokyo, the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Princeton University Art Museum, the Peabody Essex Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, the Fung Ping Shan Museum, Hong Kong, as well as numerous major private collections. He has had solo and group exhibitions throughout the world, including the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, Arthur M. Sackler Museum, the Princeton University Art Museum, Wooster College Art Museum, Museum of Fine Arts Boston and National Art Museum of China.
