Everest creation is perhaps Li Xuans most monumental series of paintings. Completed in his later years the artist wanted to use his life to show the fascinating Mountain. He was over 60 years old when he traveled alone to Tibet. Through photographs and sketches he documented his experience and emotion. Retuming to his studio, Li Xuan devoted all time to create the mountain. He said that "This series of work is pure and sacred, Everest a combination of spirituality and sexuality.” Contemporary Ink
