Biography:
Li Jian Hua (b. 1979, China) is a contemporary artist whose work explores the interplay between history, memory, and identity. Blending traditional Chinese brushwork with symbolic imagery, his paintings reflect both the cultural heritage of ancient China and the complexities of modern life. In his acclaimed Shu Xiang Men Di series, antique furniture, scholarly objects, and animals serve as metaphors for power, education, and the human condition. Li’s work invites multiple interpretations, encouraging viewers to reflect on knowledge, freedom, and the struggle against conformity. His recent imagery - featuring a golden, mythical figure - draws thought-provoking parallels between Chinese and Israeli cultural satire, confronting social structures with quiet rebellion and symbolic depth.
