Joe Li  is a wood and copper carving artist. He began making artworks with copper recycled from old power lines in 2005 because it’s environmentally friendly. He likes to carve elements representing nature, such as trees, mushrooms, flowers and mountains, etc. He thinks carving elements of nature out of industrial waste is an interesting combination.He also likes to match wood carving with bronze carving by melting copper into woods, which he thinks is a combination of modernity and nature.

    Joe Li's works often participate in sculpture exhibitions in museums. Recently, Victoria Park just bought his carved mushroom-shaped benches. Some of his works will be sold outside Hong Kong, such as high-end hotels in mainland China, as decorative artworks.

   Joe Li has stopped accepting apprentices for several years because he wants to leave more time for himself. Only his long-time friends will visit his studio to learn carving from him.
