Born in 1995 in Shan Xi, grew up in the era of reform and cultural opening of the PRC.
In those years, however, the development of China was also accompanied by many contradictions that had a great impact on his life and on his desire to make art.
His approach to painting takes place as a boy through the ink technique to which he approaches freely.
He graduated from the Jilin Academy of Fine Arts in 2017; he moved to Italy in 2021, then obtained a specialization in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Perugia.
His recent research topics circumscribe human existence through the body, religion, violence and politics.
Through the oil technique and the representation of the human body, he inserts industrial remains and other elements into his compositions.
By creating a contradiction in the adaptability of materials, he juxtaposes human remains consumed by nature and industrial waste after being consumed by humans.
His painting suggests the presence of a veil of ignorance, before which we have desired only harmony and beauty, but after which we may be faced with a result we do not want to see.
For Li Kang we are all debris of nature, children of the plague and consumerism, and in this dystopian perspective we can rediscover the meaning of the human species on earth only through the vision of the esthete.
