Li Songsong — Big Girls
Li Songsong

Big Girls

2013

Li Songsong's *Big Girls* (2013) is a large-scale oil painting executed on aluminium sheets, a material choice that lends the work a raw, industrial quality. The piece depicts monumental female figures rendered in Songsong's characteristic fragmented, heavily impastoed style, where thick slabs of paint dissolve the imagery into abstracted patches of tone and color. Drawing from found photographic sources, the work reflects on collective memory, representation, and the tension between historical imagery and its painterly reconstruction.
