• Lot n° 1176 (born 1965) 150 x 180 cm R. Female nude in front of a throne. Acrylic on canvas, signed lower left, inscribed and dated 1993 on the reverse. German private collection, acquired in China in the 1990s, exhibited at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing, 24-28 April 1993. Li Tianyuan is considered one of the defining voices in contemporary Chinese painting. His work is characterized by the fusion of traditional pictorial worlds with the visual strategies of the digital age. Through the superimposition of figurative motifs with grid-like and pixelated structures, he questions perception, memory, and the conditions of visual representation. In the present painting, a tense contrast emerges between the depiction of an opulent interior and a fragmented human figure. This creates a nuanced dialogue between past and present, between historical pictorial traditions and a digitally shaped contemporary experience. Li Tianyuan’s works have been exhibited internationally and are held, among other collections, in the holdings of the Brooklyn Museum as well as in important private collections in China, Europe, and the United States.
