Fish as Man (Rouge Series)
1999
Li Shan's *Fish as Man (Rouge Series)* is a striking acrylic on canvas work that blurs the boundaries between human and aquatic life, reflecting the artist's ongoing exploration of biotechnology, transformation, and the fluid nature of identity. The painting's soft, sensuous use of rouge-toned hues lends the imagery an organic, almost flesh-like quality, evoking both beauty and unease. As a pioneering figure in Chinese bio-art, Li Shan uses this work to question the fixed categories of species and existence in an age of genetic possibility.
