Li Shaohua

Li Shaohua has long worked across mural, sculpture, and public art practice, with works shown in national and provincial art exhibitions. His practice is rooted in urban public space, local historical memory, and museum narrative. Working across large-scale ceramic murals, bronze sculpture, relief, and staged museum environments, he builds spatial relationships between craft, image, object, and site.

Since 2002, he has completed the ceramic relief mural Heaven, Earth and Human for Shanghai Qingpu Culture Park; the Qingdao History ceramic mural and Qingdao Liyuan miniature scene for Qingdao Archives; the Centenary Vinegar Workshop for the television series Xue Se Chen Xiang; the Wine-making Scene relief mural, 21 metres wide and 3 metres high, for Qingdao Wine Museum; and the Camel Xiangzi ceramic comic work and memorial sculpture for Qingdao Lao She Memorial Museum. He also created the Chinese Nine-Dragon Altar for the Hengshun Vinegar Culture Museum in Zhenjiang.

In recent years, he has become especially known for major ceramic mural and public sculpture projects that bring together traditional craft language, regional cultural symbols, and the experience of contemporary civic space. Alongside his public art practice, he continues to work in oil painting, landscape painting, and calligraphy, forming a cross-media practice marked by material presence and hand-made texture.
