Li Yiwen: Synchronic Field
2023.5.20 – 2023.7.2
Artists: Li Yiwen


Mocube is honoured to present the latest solo exhibition of artist Li Yiwen Synchronic Field opening on May 20, 2023. The exhibition will run until July 2, 2023.

Li Yiwen's art practice mainly employs painting as the medium. His painting entails the thinking and interest in time and space. The experience in memory and the experience at present penetrate each other and accumulate to become the source of inspiration for expression. Li Yiwen often uses post-modern methods to filter, select, and enhance images to integrate illogical, fictitious, ectopic, and intuitive elements into the paintings. While subverting the previous painting narratives, they generate new pictorial meaning.
