*T Life Gallery Collection*
About the Artist
Mr. Li Zhen (b. 1973), a certified national artist in China, was born into the renowned Longquan Baoxi Celadon family. His lineage includes legendary celadon artists Mr. Li Junyi and Mr. Li Huaide, whose works are celebrated worldwide.
For the past 30 years, Li Zhen has dedicated himself to mastering the Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 960–1127) style of official celadon production, known as Bottom Nail Firing Technique Celadon. He has successfully revived this ancient craft, incorporating modern techniques to replicate the artistry of the Northern Song period. His innovations include breakthroughs in Longquan kiln modeling techniques and advancements in the firing processes for rare glaze compositions.
Currently, Mr. Li Zhen serves as a specially-appointed professor at Renmin University of China and regularly lectures at Tsinghua University and Peking University. As one of the foremost celadon artists of our time, his work extends beyond craftsmanship to profound academic research. Due to the exclusivity of his pieces, only a limited number are released each year through prominent auction houses.
