Exhibition Introduction ©Shanbo：

Li Shanbo says: I don’t like perfect shapes and things, because there is no perfection in the world! When I was learning to draw, I was always taught to draw with rules, to draw a good picture, but it was boring, and after graduating from college, I gave up drawing for many years. Until I went to Europe, visited major museums and learned about modernism and postmodernism, I picked up the brush again and painted the people and things I liked. Painting is a voice from my heart, and there is no beauty or ugliness, only truth and falsehood. I no longer paint to deceive my eyes, nor to please others. Self-improvement has become my choice.
