Presented his works (viewable at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jSy-HJuSXYc<\/u><\/a>) within a tech-driven narrative space, Li infuses his paintings with patience, quiet dignity, and human touch. Built slowly by hand, layer upon layer, his textured tempera surfaces bring portraits, still lifes, and rural scenes into a calm, timeless presence. His artistic outlook synthesizes the aesthetic of mono no aware<\/i>\u2014a nuanced awareness of impermanence\u2014with the influences of Piero della Francesca, Andrew Wyeth, and Balthus. <\/p>\n

Reflecting on the exhibition’s focus on artificial intelligence, Li emphasizes that human emotion and tactile presence remain irreplaceable. While AI thrives on rapid generation, tempera demands deliberate slowness, creating a compelling contrast that reaffirms the value of craftsmanship. <\/p>\n

For Li, participating in the exhibition is a return to the historical origins of his medium. Having studied Renaissance tempera and fresco in Italy in 1992 following postgraduate studies in Japan under tempera master Ritsuo Maeda, Li continues his lifelong mission to bring Chinese tempera practice to global audiences. “Art ultimately confronts the universal human condition. Beyond regional labels or historical techniques, I hope global audiences experience how tempera\u2014an ancient Western medium\u2014can be reimagined through an Eastern lens to express a shared human experience of time, memory, and emotion.”<\/i>\u2014<\/i> Li Xiaogang <\/p>\n
