LI Ning’s works have always been narrative in nature, their images filled with all kinds of metaphorical imagery and symbols. Stylistically they incorporate elements of popular culture such as film, manga and animation, as well as myths and legends from all over the world. Since the artist’s graduation show in 2019, his works have always been based on this fictional world: Earlier works were collages of scattered images created by the artist where a sense of repetition existed among the many works of flattened images, while the works on show this time are more focused on an existing narrative between them, where the forms of creatures and characters are realised in a more three-dimensional way.

李寧的作品⼀向帶有強烈的敘事性，畫⾯佈滿種種隱喻意像和符號，⾵格上則包含了各種電影動漫等流⾏⽂化及各地神話傳説的元素。藝術家⾃ 2019 年學⼠畢業展以來的作品内容都以這個虚構世界為依歸：過往的創作以零散的⾃家設計的圖像拼貼⽽成，影像平⾯化的眾多作品之間存在著⼀重覆性；是次展出的作品則更偏重於作品之間的敘事，畫⾯中的⽣物及⾓⾊形態均以更為⽴體的⽅式實現。
