Li Song Song (b. 1973, Beijing, China) is a painter renowned for his layered brushstrokes of remarkable depth.
He explores themes of modern and contemporary Chinese history.

In 2002, Li was one of the first to inhabit a studio in the famous 798 Art District in Beijing, during which time he began to include multiple color schemes into his work and increasingly add more extraordinarily thick and layered pigments.
 
Li has experimented with other surfaces and media, such as oil on aluminum and three-dimensional oil-painted objects, pushing his sense of painterly space into the physical realm.
