Artist Dinu Li discusses the influence on his work of the 17th century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer; in particular in relation to his recent work “Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Mystery.”

Dinu Li’s work has been exhibited internationally, including at the 53rd Venice Biennale and at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. He has undertaken residencies in Kazakhstan, China and the USA and has participated in numerous symposiums at Tate Modern, the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. In 2007, Li published a major monograph of his work “The Mother of All Journeys” by Dewi Lewis Publishing, and was short-listed in the same year for the Contemporary Book Award at the Rencontres d’Arles Awards.
