Emanating the distinct hues of the four seasons, this exquisite set of fan leaves offers a glimpse of a part of Li Huayi’s oeuvre rarely seen in the auction market. Known for his large-scale landscape paintings where he found inspiration from Northern Song masters and splashed ink pioneer Zhang Daqian, Li Huayi demonstrates his talent to compose atmospheric landscapes irrespective of scale and size.
Fan leaf painting requires an artist to adjust his eyes and hands and exercise extreme control, precision, and detailed planning. By combining abstract splashed ink washes and fine brush painting, Li Huayi transcends perilous cliffs, strange rocks, and twisted trees into unpredicted beauty and harmony. This element of surprise makes Landscapes of Four Seasons an exceptional work of the artist and a true gem.
The artistic journey of Li Huayi had its humble beginnings when he learned painting and calligraphy from the masters in Shanghai as a child. For the artist, his iconic style came to evolve during his later years in San Francisco. The monumentality of his painting is the amalgam of historical methods and innovation and resonates with nature, photography and classical music that the artist so loves.
