Synopsis

A celebrated artist in China and the US, Li Hongwei is known for his artistic, conceptual, and technical fusion of the past and present in innovative works that combine classical Chinese ceramics and the tenets of Western modernism. Constructing Radiance is the companion to Hongwei’s 2024 exhibition at the Alfred Ceramic Art Museum New York State College of Ceramics at the Alfred University.

Sculpture, a product of constructing forms in three-dimensional space, is embedded in the history of human endeavor and is often associated with a search for meaning. Radiance is an ephemeral condition, a reflection of light or a rare luminosity. Radiance often suggests an exquisite harmony as universals underlying reality unite in timeless balance. These words which contextualize the exhibition suggest a framework for contemplating the ever-expanding achievement of sculptor Li Hongwei.
