The artist

The young artist is inspired by the greatest ceramics in Chinese history, while bringing a contemporary touch to his works.
Internalizing all the influences of contemporary international society, from advertising to consumer culture assimilated by Chinese culture following the arrival in the country such as Coca-Cola or McDonald’s in the 1980s, Li Lihong transcribed in his ceramics the ancestral quality of traditional porcelain infused into new forms born from the confrontation between tradition and modernity, and more specifically the meeting of East and West.
Li lihong proves to us more than ever with his Currency War that he is a great master ceramist who knew how to feed on a whole complex tradition of Chinese porcelain to appropriate it in a unique language and multicultural.

Artist

Li Lihong

Né en 1974 à Jingdezhen (Chine), capitale mondiale de la porcelaine, Li Lihong s’est formé dès le plus jeune âge à l’art de la céramique auprès du grand maître Qin Xiling. Bien que son travail s’inspire des traditionnelles porcelaines royales qui ont fait la réputation de son village, Li Lihong conçoit ses œuvres en leur insufflant une vision résolument contemporaine. Il réinvente la porcelaine chinoise de manière radicale après avoir intériorisé toutes les influences internationales, notamment les grandes firmes telles que Coca-Cola ou McDonald’s implantées en Chine dans les années 1980.
