Trace by Li Xiaoke

"Steps in Tibet", a themed personal exhibition of print paintings by famous Chinese painter Li Xiaoke, was on show in the Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy on Nov. 13, 2011.

This exhibition is presented by Li Xiaoke as a tribute to mark the 60th anniversary of the peaceful liberation of southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region.

Li Xiaoke is first-class artist of China, member of Chinese Photographers Society and vice president of Li Kenran Art Foundation. As the son of Li Keran, famous master of Chinese painting, Li Xiaoke has formed his own style in ink painting and is gifted in photography. 

The exhibition displays about one hundred print paintings, which are all created based on Li Xiaoke's photography works taken in Tibet during the past over twenty years. Print painting is a new art technique that integrates printing with documentary photography and endows the works with new art expressions.

The artist's admiration and emotion towards Tibet and Tibetan people are fully revealed in these works. What’s more, the artist will donate all the exhibited works to the Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy.

The exhibition is hosted by Beijing Artists Association, Beijing Fine Art Academy and Li Keran Art Foundation and organized by Art Museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy and Kechuang Art.
