Born 1979 in Chaozhou, Li Wenfeng graduated from the Print Department at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. Discontent with flat expression, Li Wenfeng’s works Arrow Fish and Blue Porcelain Flower Vase, feature grand and dramatic scenes of story telling, which borrow a absurd aesthetic to create unusual symbolic expressions of the vast and material world. Most recent exhibitions include, “The Chinese Contemporary Art, Now” (Ho Am Art Museum Seoul Korea, 2008).
