MIND AND COMPREHENSION - Exhibition of Li Lei Abstract Paintings will be unveiled in Longmen Art Projects in Shanghai’s Sinan Mansions on March 9, 2013. This exhibition will feature ten of Li Lei’s latest works and twelve pastel sketches executed in 2012, including “Among Clouds and Water” series, “As the Wind Blows the Clouds, the Sky is Full of Flowers”, ”The Dark Wind Urges the Red Sleeve of Xiang Ning”” and “Guan Shan is Unfamiliar with the One in the Clouds”. We have also retrospectively selected 10 of Li lei’s magnum opus between 2006-2011 such as “Wild Water”, “Dancing Flowers” and “The Seventh Sky”. The exhibition gathers the top abstract works by Li Lei since 2006 and leads the audience into a world of pure and poetic abstraction.

The exhibition of Li Lei Abstract Paintings will capture and convey his artistic ideology: The kind of painting one creates depends on the “heart” of the creator. “Heart” in this sense, is akin to “Comprehension”; both the conscious and subconscious comprehension and awareness of a multitude of sensory inputs. The “heart” has the same foundation and is the source of paintings, and paintings are the materialized presentation of the “heart”. Paintings preserve the “heart” within, waiting to be discovered by its viewer.
