Li Dezhuang: Well M Farmland

ShanghART Singapore is honoured to present Li Dezhuang’s solo exhibition “Well M Farmland” (井山田 Jing Shan Tian), opening next Sat, 30 Nov, at 4pm. This is the second time the artist has returned to Singapore to hold a solo exhibition, since he left Singapore 24 years ago. Surrounding his iconic “Well M Farmland” series of paintings, the exhibition strives to share fascinating stories from nearly half a century of his colourful and creative artistic practice.

The exhibition comprises selected highlights from his career, providing an overview of his artistic practice spanning nearly half a century. From the earliest work created in the late 1970s, to his subsequent revisiting of his “Abstract Landscape” series, the exhibited works are threaded through “Well M Farmland – Square Puzzle”, a landmark work created in Singapore during the Covid-19 years that depicts a fascinating narrative of Li’s personal reflection towards the pandemic. The gallery is pleased to reintroduce this globetrotting artist to the public eye through this exhibition, giving local audiences the opportunity to have a glimpse into his illustrious journey.
