The Chinese artist Li Lei (born 1965) explores Confucian and Taoist aesthetics through abstract painting, a genre which only blossomed in China--particularly in Shanghai--in the late 1980s. These strongly gestural abstractions, which are superbly reproduced in this first monograph, are described by the artist as "landscapes of the heart."
