Introduction of Artist

A female artist from China. Deeply captivated by Japanese literature, particularly the world of Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, Li continuously expresses the complex human psychology depicted by Tanizaki through the rich tones and techniques of lacquer art.

Message

Through exploring Jun'ichirō Tanizaki's literary expressions, she seeks new ways to recreate his works in different forms and aims to deepen her study of Tanizaki's literature and aesthetic sensibilities. Ultimately, she intends to create lacquer art pieces based on her research, adding new interpretations and expressions as a form of secondary creation. Just like Shakespeare's saying, "There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes," she believes that the background of the reader leads to different insights, which in turn inspire originality in creation.
