Chinese artist and avowed bon vivant Li Jin is known for his sharp, witty and often irreverent works depicting people, places, food and wine, all encountered on his world travels. [In 2003], Li embarked on a whirlwind gustatory road trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, eventually making his way to New York. On 8 June, an exhibition of 40 exuberant ink on paper paintings and two enamelled bronze sculptures inspired by this journey opens at Sotheby's S|2 Gallery in Los Angeles. “As a Chinese artist experiencing the American way of life, I used the medium of ink to express this fresh and exotic feeling,” Li said. “I have painted myself in the works, along with things I love, like delicious food, beautiful women, and good wine!”
