Li Tianbing : Urban Scene
3 May-15 Jun 2019
JD Malat Gallery
London W1K 4NB

Li Tianbing deviates from the strict canon of Socialist Realism by capturing an alternative narrative and representing the state of political conflict in China’s society. ‘Urban Scene’ becomes a signifier of the ideological tensions which clash in the main spaces of the world’s urban centres. Li Tianbing’s work is a spectacle, not only for those involved, but for the viewer who becomes a witness to these social pressures.
