Lisson Gallery is pleased to present The Signs are Present, the first solo exhibition in Los Angeles by Li Ran. Comprising nine, recent, oil-on-canvas works—including some of the largest paintings the artist has made to date—this exhibition marks a discernable evolution in Li’s practice, wherein his focus has shifted toward the material and formal qualities of painting. Known for his cross-disciplinary approach, which spans video, performance, writing, and installation, Li often interrogates systems of ideology, cultural translation, and intellectual history. In this new body of work, he deliberately tempers the satirical and conceptual strategies that defined his earlier projects—where appropriation and narrative construction played central roles—in favor of a quieter, more ambiguous visual language. Here, narrative intent becomes more elusive, embedded subtly rather than explicitly articulated.

[Scenery] A most brilliant pearl among the numerous coastal islands in California, USA. The island is centered on Avalon Bay. This azure and crystal-clear crescent-shaped pier was an excellent place for pirate ships to hide and enter during the Spanish occupation more than 400 years ago. The white &quot;Crescent Beach&quot; is picturesque.
[Fun] Avalon, the only city on the island, is connected to San Pedro and Long Beach on the mainland by ferry and flight. There are seal habitats and underwater parks on the island.

It&#39;s a good deal. Buy one get one free for two-day tickets. You can enter directly by scanning the QR code. It&#39;s very convenient. There weren&#39;t many people on the two days I went there, which was not a weekend. I played all the projects and the waiting time was not long.

Real &quot;filter&quot; test:

Besieged by commercial noise: The streets are filled with cheap souvenir shops, high-decibel music, and artists selling CDs, and the environment is noisy and chaotic. The romantic imagination of &quot;starlight&quot; is easily shattered by reality.
Expectation management is crucial: don&#39;t expect to meet a star (the probability is very small) or bump into a movie shoot. The Avenue of Stars is essentially a memorial landmark, not a theme park.
Trap area tips: Be careful of high-priced and low-cost attractions such as wax museums and horror houses; be wary of those who actively approach and provide &quot;services&quot;.

Is it worth going? The key lies in the purpose:

Hardcore movie fans/film history enthusiasts: must go! *The feeling of touching the idol&#39;s mark with your own hands and being in the Oscar Hall is irreplaceable.
Tourists who check in Los Angeles for the first time: You can go, but strictly control the time and expectations. Focus on the ritual of &quot;star hunting&quot; (reserve 1 hour), visit the exterior of the Chinese Theater, and look at the mountain landmark from a distance, and regard it as a cultural symbol check-in point.
*Those who seek in-depth cultural experience/hate crowded and noisy: choose carefully or avoid it. The noise may be far beyond
