Li Pengquan
PDFLi Penquan (b. 1994, Luoyang) lives and works in Luoyang. His paintings navigate the absurd and fragile side of
everyday life—where trivial moments crack open into something mysterious or quietly ridiculous. Blending poetic detachment with dry humor, his practice resists grand narratives in favor of “weak events”, offering
a subtle response to shifting social and ideological undercurrents. His works are held in the collections of Guangdong Museum of Contemporary Art, X Museum and other institutions.
