Chen Li - Education

Mr.Chen Li was born in 1971 in Kunming city, the capital of Yunnan province. Being the son of the famous Yunnan painter Chen Yongle, he was influenced by painting and printmaking from his childhood on.

But Chen Li was not satisfied with the traditional style of Yunnan painting. Therefore he went his own way trying to combine the warm colors and fluent lines of Yunnan paintings with a more abstract style. Chen Li combines the style of Yunnan Art School with elements of traditional Chinese brush painting and abstract Western painting.
