LI HUAYI (b.1948)Landscape, 2010-2011Ink on paper, signed on the bottom right, framed and glazed. 180cm high x 91cm wide (71in high x 36in wide). Footnotes:李華弌(1948年生) 山水 水墨紙本 鏡框 2010-2011年作Published, Illustrated and Exhibited: Michael Goedhuis, The Ink Art of China, London, 2019, pp.18-19. 展覽著錄：Michael Goedhuis著，《水墨中國》，倫敦，2019年，第18-19頁Li Huayi is internationally renowned for his meticulously detailed landscape paintings that are reminiscent of masterworks from the Song dynasty (960–1279). He was born in Shanghai in 1948. As a child, Li began studying ink painting with a family friend, Wang Chuantao (1903-1978), as well as Western-style painting with Zhang Chongren (1907-1998), who had trained at the Royal Academy of Arts in Brussels. Li was thus trained well in the technical skills of European painting and traditional Chinese painting. Li can thus be said to have inherited Shanghai's cosmopolitan past. As a young man growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution, however, artists and art students were expected to produce the Socialist Realist propaganda images demanded at the time. By the time the Cultural Revolution ended following the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, young artists were eager to experiment and develop new ideas about making art. The open-door policy initiated in 1979 opened up new possibilities and in 1982, Li Huayi emigrated to the United States to find an art world in transition from abstraction to post-modernism. During his graduate studies at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, he began to concentrate on subtle abstract compositions, unlike anything he had attempted in China. After a decade in San Francisco, Li Huayi's artistic experimentation and transformation bore fruit. Li travelled to China's famous mountains and to the Buddhist caves of Dunhuang, as a means of rejuvenating his art through the inspiration of natural beauty. He once again turned his attention to the classical masterpieces of Chinese landscape painting - in particular the masters of Northern Song dynasty monumental landscape painting such as Fan Kuan (c.960-1030), Li Cheng (919-967), and Guo Xi (c.1020-1090); see Eskenazi Ltd., Waterfalls, rocks and bamboo by Li Huayi, London, 2014, p.11.Li Huayi's careful study of the classics of Chinese and European painting, as well as the modern American practice of abstraction, yielded paintings that are at once firmly rooted in the history of Chinese art and instantaneously meaningful to contemporary viewers. As Li said himself: I began to incorporate elements from traditional Chinese arts in my own works. Tradition is the spiritual core of every form of Chinese art – porcelain, pottery, rubbings, carvings, everything. But each of these arts also contains an abstract side; see M.Knight, The Monumental Landscapes of Li Huayi, San Francisco, 2005, p.2.The solid pine, the mist that both divides and unites the mountain peaks, the overhanging cliff, the tree clinging to rocky precipices, all echo the most potent motifs of Northern Song painting. Li's synthesis of styles is achieved through fastidiously rendered brushstrokes and a unique sense of composition that is inspired by the past and wholly his own. The dreamlike contrasts of pale mist and dark mountain cliffs also resemble works of the seventeenth century artists of the weird and fantastic, most notably Wu Bin (1573-1620) and Gong Xian (1618-1689), who created bizarre images of completely impossible mountains and rocks. The meticulously detailed trees and rocks in Li Huayi's paintings are convincingly naturalistic, but they are placed in impossibly dangerous mountain settings. Clearly imaginary, they are powerfully persuasive.Li applies ink on the paper first, and then allows the composition to take shape in response to the density of the ink. This element of chance brings his work close to late or post-modernist ideas. His success at unsettling or disturbing the viewer seems grounded in our shared conviction that the universe is indeed an orderly one and that both artist and viewer share this knowledge. This order, so well understood and recreated by the great landscapists of the Song dynasty, has in the artist's work, slipped only temporarily out of our grasp, like an interrupted dream. As modern as they are antique, these paintings persuade us that they are part of a cosmic whole and that they exemplify a universal harmony.Li Huayi's paintings are in many prestigious museums across the world, including the Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the National Museum of Tokyo; and Brooklyn Museum, New York.

QIU JIE (b.1961)Contemplation of Plum Blossoms, 2010Graphite on paper, framed. 100cm high x 140cm wide (39 1/4in high x 55 1/4in wide).Footnotes:邱節（1961年生） 香雪海賞梅圖 石墨紙本 鏡框 2010年作Born in Shanghai in 1961, Qiu Jie started to learn painting by copying illustrations of the Red Guards in newspapers from the age of ten. In 1981, he graduated from the School of Decorative Arts in Shanghai and began to work as an art designer in the Shanghai Instrument Factory. Qiu had his first solo exhibition at the age of 24. In 1989, recommended by two Swiss artists, Qiu Jie commenced his study of multimedia art at the School of Fine Arts in Geneva. Currently living and working in China, France, and Switzerland, Qiu uses the simplest tools, graphite pencil and paper, to express his concern about the life experience of the generation in China which went through the Cultural Revolution. Inspired by the art of the Northern Renaissance in Flanders, Qiu Jie's work has a precisely realistic style while embodying a symbolic repertoire of great ambiguity. Signing with the sobriquet 'The Mountain Man Who Lives Outside His Hometown' (Taxiang shanren), Qiu Jie's works connect his accomplished draftsmanship to the style of the propaganda posters from the Cultural Revolution era. One of Qiu Jie's iconic works is the drawing of Mao as a cat, 2007, illustrated in The Revolution Continues: New Art from China, London, 2008, pp.64-65.Qiu Jie's works have been exhibited and collected widely, including at the Saatchi Gallery, London; The Geneva Contemporary Art Foundation; The Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai; and the Amsterdam Museum of Fine Arts.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: W TPW Lot is located in the Bonhams Warehouse and will only be available for collection from this location.TP For auctions held in Scotland: Lots will be moved to an offsite storage location (Constantine, Constantine House, North Caldeen Road, Coatbridge ML5 4EF, Scotland, UK) and will only be available for collection from this location at the date stated in the catalogue.
