+ OVERVIEW
Li Chen's "The Genuine State" portrays the purest "energy, chi, spirit" reflecting the most innocent behavior and mind. The artist believes that one has the ability to discard outside influence and return to the original state where we feel most comfortable and carefree. The figure stands with his arms and hands wide open releasing three infant forms whose gestures are content and relaxed.
