'''Li Huayi''' ({{zh|t=李華弌}}; born 1948) is a contemporary ink artist whose admiration for the monumental landscapes of the [[Northern Song dynasty]] with his training in both traditional Chinese ink and Western art, inspired him to create his own style of ink painting.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://lihuayiarts.com/biography/|title=Li Huayi|website=Kwai Fung Hin|language=en|access-date=2019-05-07}}</ref>
Li has established a distinct connection between contemporary and traditional, and nature and humanity, by integrating his contemporary perspective with the eternal values of [[Ink wash painting|traditional literati painting]].<ref name=":8">{{Cite book|title=The monumental landscapes of Li Huayi|last=Li, Huayi, 1948-|date=2004|publisher=Asian Art Museum--Chong-Moon Lee Center for Asian Art and Culture|others=Knight, Michael, 1953-, Tsuruta, Kazuhiro., Asian Art Museum of San Francisco.|isbn=0939117266|location=San Francisco|oclc=57209588}}</ref>

== Early life ==
Li Huayi was born in 1948 in [[Shanghai]], China. At the age of six, he learned the art of traditional ink painting under the tutelage of Wang Jimei in private. When he was sixteen, Li began his studies of Western art with [[Zhang Chongren]], who had studied at the Belgian Royal Academy and who was known for his realistic watercolors.<ref name=":7">{{Cite book|title=Mountain landscapes by Li Huayi|last=|first=|publisher=Eskenazi London|year=2007|isbn=978-1-873609-23-1|location=|pages=}}</ref>  During the [[Cultural Revolution]] (1966 - 1976), Li was exempt from being sent to the countryside and allowed to remain in Shanghai to paint Soviet-style propaganda murals as a result of his dexterity with brush and ink, and his training in Western art.<ref name=":8" />
In the late 1970s, after the Cultural Revolution, Li Huayi traveled throughout China's significant scenic, historic and cultural sites including the monumental peaks of [[Huangshan]] in Anhui Province, which are often depicted in many of his paintings. In Gansu Province, Li studied the Buddhist cave temples at [[Dunhuang]], teaching himself the early history of Chinese painting and gaining an understanding of religious painting. In 1978, Li traveled to [[Beijing]] where he saw his first Northern Song landscape painting and first major exhibition of modern Western art; both of which left him with deep and lasting impressions.<ref name=":8" />
== Move to the United States ==
In 1982, Li Huayi and his wife immigrated to San Francisco. There, he enrolled at the Academy of Art, San Francisco, to study Western art and he completed his master's degree in 1984. In the same year, Li held his first one-man exhibition in America at the Pacific Asia Museum in Pasadena, featuring a combination of his Dunhuang-style paintings and his '[[Abstract expressionism|Abstract Expressionist]]' works. His abstract paintings received critical acclaim from the art historian and scholar of Chinese painting, [[Michael Sullivan (art historian)|Michael Sullivan]].<ref name=":8" />
== Artistic development ==
=== Inspiration and early works ===
In the 1980s, Li experimented with abstract forms of splash-ink, combining some elements of collage.<ref name=":7" /> During this period, he discovered his artistic calling to create something new in the most important traditional Chinese painting theme: [[Landscape painting|landscape]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=Li Huayi|author=Li, Huayi|publisher=|others=Shen, Kuiyi, Kwai, Catherine|year=2018|isbn=978-8891816375|edition= First|location=New York|pages=|oclc=1012679124}}</ref>
The Northern Song School tradition kept looming over Li Huayi. The first Northern Song painting he saw was [[Fan Kuan]]'s ''Scene Under Snow'', in 1978 at the [[Beijing Palace Museum]]. In 1989, Li visited the [[National Palace Museum|National Palace Museum in Taipei]], where [[Guo Xi]]'s ''Early Spring'' left lasting impressions.<ref name=":7" />
=== Monumental landscape ===
Li's works of the 1990s evoke the landscape imagery of [[Li Cheng (painter)|Li Cheng]] (919–967), [[Fan Kuan]] (active 990–1030), and [[Guo Xi]] (after 1000-ca. 1090).<ref name=":1" /> The faceted cliffs and gnarled pines in his compositions remind many of Huangshan's mountain peaks in Anhui Province. However, instead of the traditional mountain landscape paintings depicted at a distance, Li provides close-up details and places his viewers intimately within the landscape. By pulling the cliffs and pines in the center of the composition close to the viewer, he or she directly feels the monumentality of nature.<ref name=":1" />
=== Multiple screens installation ===
Since ancient times, painting on screens has been common practice in the East, providing a bridge for the artistry of two-dimensional surfaces to three-dimensional works in physical space.<ref name=":6">{{Cite book|title=Fantasies on Paper and Enchantments in Gold|last=|first=|publisher=Suzhou Museum|year=2017|isbn=|location=China: Jiangsu|pages=76}}</ref> Having considered the viewing experience of his audience, Li aimed to produce greater visual impact through the format of a screen. Since 2006, by placing a landscape hanging scroll in front of a backdrop of large, ink-and-brush filled panels, Li creates works of three-dimensional space in the form of installation art. This combination of traditional brush-and-ink painting with a contemporary presentation, suggests Li's innovative approach and opened up the potential of physical space in his art.<ref name=":1" />
=== Ink on gilded screens ===
In the mid-2000s, Li Huayi has experimented with painting landscapes on gold leaf. He has accepted the challenge of applying ink and pigments to the smooth polished surface of gold leaf, which is vastly different from the surfaces of absorbent paper and silk on which he previously worked. Li has even purchased unpainted antique Japanese gilded screens in order to explore how earlier Japanese artists used their pigments and ink on such a surface. After experimenting for years, he created his first ink on gilded screen in 2008. Up to 2018, he has finished 4 works on golden paper and 26 works of ink on antique Japanese gilded screens.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Work on Gilded Screens 金屏風 |url=https://lihuayiarts.com/artworks/categories/5-work-on-gilded-screens/ |access-date=2022-07-08 |website=Li Huayi |language=en}}</ref>
=== Ink on gold or silver leaf ===
Since 2018, Li challenged himself in expanding the boundaries of his gilded series. Instead of applying ink to a gilded background, he first draws his composition on silk fabric and then lays gold leaf on top. Released from the limitations of a gilded background, the artist may alternate between solid and impressionistic ink strokes on silk as much as he wishes. The light of the painting no longer comes from its background, but rather it reflects the light shone upon it. At the same time, the artist begins to incorporate silver leaf, which produces a luminescence akin to moonshine in his paintings.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Infinities Between Ink and Gold - Catalogue Raisonné of the Gilded Works by Li Huayi 2008-2021 |publisher=Kwai Fung Art Publishing House |year=2022 |isbn=978-988-15623-0-2 |pages=19}}</ref>
