Based on his extensive solo exhibition at SPURS Gallery 2021, this book presents the work of Chinese artist Li Nu in all its scope, with pieces created between 2008 and today. Born in 1979, the artist returned to Beijing after graduating from London's Royal Academy of Art and became one of the most important artists of his generation, straddling both worlds thematically and in terms of artistic language. His sculptures, installations, and performance videos resolutely intervene in the exhibition or living spaces with subversive wit, combining personal narratives and political reflections into poetic works that even without knowledge of their background story impress in their formal richness.
