His paintings reflect both his childhood, and its larger context in recent Chinese social history, including the country's one-child policy. Li Tianbing has created paintings that evoke cultural duality and the isolation he felt growing up as an only child, depicting himself with images of a fictional brother. At the fair, Contrasts will exhibit a large-scale painting titled Souvenir de Stand that will be part of the artist's solo exhibition at the gallery in September. Although his paintings have been shown extensively in the U.S. and Europe, the fair will be Li's first time showing his work in China.
