This catalogue was published on the occasion of the exhibition, Chinese Synthesism at Osage Kwun Tong from 01 June to 15 July 2007.

Li Xinping’s solo exhibition “Chinese Synthesism” demonstrates that art can be one and the same time, decorative and the perfect expression of ideas. Li’s work is undeniably decorative.  It is also beautiful, refined, lyrical, tasteful, composed, elegant and thoughtful.  It is synthesist in that it transforms the subject into an expression of the artist’s own visionary experience and uses colour for emotional significance.  His work explores many different themes including cosmogony, and the creation of life.
