Li Ran

Li Ran’s first solo exhibition with Lisson in Shanghai and fourth with the gallery presents a series of new works, showcasing the latest development in his painting practice. Recently, his focus has shifted toward the material and formal qualities of painting, deliberately tempering the satirical and conceptual strategies that defined his earlier projects. Extending his multidisciplinary practice, which spans video, installation, performance, and writing, the gallery space will be transformed into an immersive environment where systems of ideology, cultural translation, and intellectual history are examined. This exhibition follows Li Ran's participation in the group exhibition Stay Connected: Supplying the Globe at Tai Kwun, Hong Kong, which opens on 28 February 2026.
