Reformist ink artist's works on display at Shenzhen Art Museum

The fruits of these journeys were a collection of paintings in which Li introduced a modern context to the centuries-old ink tradition, addressing new aesthetic demands.

Wandering in the Rain, an exhibition now on at the Shenzhen Art Museum, in Guangdong province, running until Feb 16, looks back on Li's courageous efforts at that time. The paintings are from the collection of the Li Keran Foundation in Beijing.
