About
Why this artist matters now
Li Songsong paints large-scale canvases in oil, building dense impasto surfaces that layer and obscure found images drawn from newspapers, film stills, and historical photographs. His work excavates memory and the texture of modern Chinese history through deliberate accumulation and erasure on the canvas. The thickness of paint itself becomes a material record of time and loss, transforming flat archival sources into dimensional, weathered objects.
