Li Tianbing

Li Tianbing is a Chinese-born, Paris-based painter known for his evocative works depicting solitary children, often rooted in his personal experience growing up during China's one-child policy era. His paintings blend memory, longing, and imagination, frequently portraying a young boy accompanied by an invisible companion, a surrogate sibling, rendered in a dreamlike, figurative style influenced by both Eastern and Western artistic traditions. His work has garnered international attention and is collected and auctioned by major houses including Phillips.
