Introduction

Zhou Li’s works include mixed-media painting and installations. Freed from the constraints of material, she has developed a personal aesthetic and philosophy grounded in naturalism. Rational romanticism on European cultures and bold elegance rooted in Chinese traditions can both be seen in her works. Her ex-plorations in contemporary boundaries show deep care for culture and humanity. In each and every one of her works, delicately felt details are transformed by this inner force into visionary forms.
