Landscapes of Li Huayi

(May 1997)

This exhibition follows “Backward 
Glances,” the paintings of Arnold Chang, and 
“C.C. Wang at Ninety” as the third show 
organized by Kaikodo around the work of a 
single artist. Despite the great differences in 
their ages and the widely varying 
circumstances of their artistic training and 
careers, all three of these painters are 
explicitly Chinese artists; they have, that is, 
consciously chosen to place themselves in 
some specific relationship to the long lineage 
of Chinese masters who preceded them, to 
assimilate the stylistic heritage associated 
with that particular segment, and to project 
their chosen lineage into the future through 
paintings of their own creation. We celebrate in this exhibition Li Huayi’s commitment to the great landscape masters of the Northern Song period and to the awe-inspiring natural landscapes of the northern California coast that has long been close to home for him, and also we celebrate the Li’s inner artistic lights that compel him to rewrite the past and create the present in his own language and unique personal idiom.
