Ying Li: Weather Report featured in a review by John Goodrich:

"As the old art-school adage still apples: the lines within a painting divide its two-dimensional surface; the colors fill it. And indeed, these paradoxical tensions between lines and color take on an almost magical richness in masters ranging from Duccio to Courbet. But what happens when the paint is so thick it intrudes on the third dimension? Presented with a surface layered in thick, luscious whorls of pigment, we experience new sensations: an intensified tactility of gesture, a redoubled pleasure in the medium’s materiality, an elevated order of risk-taking."

Ying Li: "The landscapes in North Mayo (Ireland) are very romantic. I was imagining what it would look like if I was in the air floating with the clouds. Wet paint can do magic––yes, absolutely, perspective is important to these two paintings. [Ballycastle (Drifting), County Mayo & Towards Down Patrick Head]

I think about color all the time: how I can get the whole range of colors to work together, the muddy, the clear, the local colors and primaries, the transparencies, and the thick blobs. Colors can look very different in varying textures and create very different sensations and feelings. Color is a personal thing. There is so much you can play with in landscape painting. Any colors can be in the game, not just the 'landscape color set’ sold in art stores.

The most important qualities I want to have in my painting are capturing the feel, the spirit of the place, the wholeness of nature, and to transform the energy and spirit from nature onto my canvas.

I want the painting to make the viewer curious, look slowly, linger, and ask questions."

- Art Sync Interview | "Big Ball of Energy: Conversation with Ying Li", by Elizabeth Johnson, edited by Matthew Crain.
