Li Ruoheng's Metropolis series of paintings renders a similar perspective of flying at night over cities. She has introduced pearls and black velvet cloth in work to re-create the sparkle of city lights, by which she makes a metaphor of the radiance of human civilization.
Li's works depicting beautiful, mystic metropolitan night scenes around the world are on show at her ongoing exhibition, The Radiant Metropolis, inside Beijing's 798 art zone.

Curated by Wang Chunchen, a professor of Central Academy of Fine Arts, the exhibition is on at Gen Gallery until Jan 5.
Li's mixed media works are derived from her rich experiences of studying and traveling abroad, which has allowed her an exposure to different cultures. Growing up a city girl, Li examines the opportunities and challenges of urbanization in a globalized context, and its influence on city dwellers' mentality and emotions.
