Xue Li is a female artist from Yunnan's Hani nationality.
She creates woodcut prints in black and white with semi-abstract
images and with titles like "Mountain Goblin". She is obviously
inspired by her own ethnic roots and the rich folk art tradition of
Yunnan nationalities.
Education and Training

copyright Xue Li
Xue Li, a resident artist of Qujing Printmaking Institute, was
born in 1978. The young woman from the Hani nationality graduated
from the Art Department of Yunnan Nationalities University in July 1999.
Xue Li is a member of Yunnan Artists Association, a council member of
Yunnan Artists Association and Secretary General of Qujing Artist Association.
The woodcuts by this young female artist in semi-abstract patterned
style and kept in black and white were apparently affected by the folk
art of Yunnan minority ethnic groups.
It is only too natural for her as she is herself from the Hani
minority group. Furthermore Xue Li had studied folk art
as a major subject at the Art Department of Yunnan Nationalities University.
Xue Li's print works have been selected for many exhibitions and won prizes
at national and provincial exhibitions. They have been collected by several
museums - among them the Guangdong Art Gallery and the Anhui Art Gallery.
And some of her art works went on an exhibition tour to several
European countries. In the meantime also her literary works have been
published in various newspaper, periodicals and magazines.
