Li Ning (b. 1992, Hong Kong), is inspired by dreams and daily scenarios, often presenting multiple scenes and characters in the same composition. He constructs a bizarre world of unique characters in a boundless territory without a definitive start or end. Li’s artistic style incorporates his practice and experience as a tattoo practitioner. He applies delicate lines to form positive and negative spaces, adopting the sensibility and techniques of tattooing in his print works. Both mediums are remarkably similar: they are processes of pigment insertion and conversion of inked-lines into patterns onto human skin or canvas. His technique is also a form of collaging—instead of using ready-made images as his source material, he applies his own design patterns accumulated as a tattoo practitioner in his print works.
