ART EXHIBITION BATH - Animal Kingdom - LI FUYUAN
1 May - 29 August in Bath, first UK solo exhibition of works by famous modern artist Li Fuyuan. Mr Li uses brush painting techniques with stunning effects. His works are full of bold, contrasting colours and elements that compose a visual melody of a fantastically cacophonous world. The abstract shapes work together to form the images of animals that are at once incorporated into a dramatic landscape but yet burst out from the background to stare at the audience. Born in Kunming, China in 1942 Li Fuyuan attended the Beijing Art Academy. He was later appointed a lecturer at the Beijing Art Professional College whilst continuing with his own personal art. His works have been exhibited in the UK, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and several pieces have been sold at Sotheby’s, Hong Kong.
