Over 140 people turned out on 7 May to make the Opening Show for LiKailin Gallery in Prestbury a fantastic success. From London to Liverpool, from Leeds to Lancashire (and from almost everywhere in between!), lovers of contemporary fine art filled this new destination Gallery and enthused about the quality of work on display. “Moving”, an exhibition of eighteen Chinese contemporary artists, thrilled the gathered throng of collectors, gallerists and art academics with the sheer artistic prowess of their painting, sculpture and photographic art.
LiKailin will dedicate this gallery to bringing very high quality Asian contemporary art to the UK and wider Europe – and to bringing cutting edge artists to collectors north of London. The gallery represents well-established artists, who already have works in important exhibitions (such as The British Museum) and they also pride themselves on showing emerging talent, often for the first time in the UK.
Since her return from 2 years living and working in Shanghai, LiKailin Owner and Artistic Director, Dr. Catherine Raines (aka Li Kailin) has already placed works into important public, private and corporate collections – and has recently curated the first ever solo exhibition outside China for the photographic artist Tian Taiquan. She will also curate a solo exhibition for Yang Yongliang to coincide with Asian Arts in London Week in the autumn.
