Style and TechniqueThe Artist uses the reduction woodcut technique for creating his works. Li Hua likes to use earthen colors - a lot of reds and browns - or the natural color contrast. His favorite subjects are from Mongolian every-day-situations, which he composes sometimes with humor, for instance when he shows a herdsman in traditional outfit and typical environment but with a cell phone on his ear. The artist's editions are very small with sometimes as few as only 6 copies. This makes Li Hua an ideal collector's favorite.
