Description
Li Xubai is a painter and poet. In 1979 he moved to Hong Kong, and in 1996 to Canada, where he lives in relative obscurity. He is one of a small group of contemporary Chinese artists who deliberately choose to paint in a very personal classical manner, and to write classical poetry on his paintings – partly, at least, to show that traditional Chinese modes of expression are still relevant today.
Based on extract from Sullivan, Michael, Modern Chinese Art: The Khoan and Michael Sullivan Collection (Oxford: Ashmolean Museum, 2009)
