Following announcement of worldwide representation, Li Ran presents his first exhibition with Lisson Gallery this summer. The exhibition debuts a new series of paintings by the Shanghai-based artist, all created within the past year. While Li has gained renown for his performances and pseudo-documentaries, his practice also encompasses painting, installation and writing. His work explores the history of art, using mimicry and satire to question the role of the institutions and narratives that define it. In recent years, he has been surveying antagonist roles in theatre, stage art, make-up design and the production of foreign and espionage films created in China since the 1950s.
