Lei Lei has been teaching and lecturing in Chinese art for several years. He is a guest lecturer at the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Ruskin School of Art, and Christie's and Sotheby's auction houses. In 2000 he was awarded the Millennium Adult Tutor Award for Great Britain. Lei Lei regularly exhibits his calligraphy and paintings both in the UK and internationally. Recent exhibitions have taken place in Paris, Geneva, Spain, Singapore, Tokyo and Venice.
