Catalogue Note
Born in Fujian, Li Xubai is a poet and contemporary painter recognized for his lyrical landscapes that are derived from classical Chinese painting. After studying Chinese classical literature, poetry and landscape painting under the female artist and poet Liu Heng (1895–1998), Li moved to Hong Kong in 1979 to work as an editor for The World of Collectors and Dragon Roots Art Magazine. Inspired by masters such as Gong Xian (1618 – 1689), Li's paintings exude empathy and compassion towards nature and his homeland of China. He has exhibited extensively between Asia and North America, and his work is held in collections in the Chinese American Fine Arts Society in Boston, the Hong Kong Museum of Art in Hong Kong and the He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen.
