Li Junsheng，a local Tujia ethnic man in Zhangjiajie. In 1980s, he created sandstone painting. Li Junshneg's sandstone paintings belong to a comprehensive material art. Collage or mixed media are commonly used media in Western modern art.
However, Li Junsheng's sandstone paintings are not a misappropriation or imitation of modern Western comprehensive material art, but a unique comprehensive material art discovered and created by him through his own aesthetic perception, which is a native modern art in China.
Li Junsheng may not be able to understand western modern painters such as Debbie Fey, Tapies and Pollock, but his sand and stone paintings have achieved the same visual effect as the comprehensive material art of western modern painters, and are more rich in the local artistic characteristics of China, especially in Zhangjiajie, Hunan.
