李振宁的玻璃雕塑作品主要是采用相对传统的失蜡铸造手法来创作，制作过程中会采用多次烧制的方法来控制作品的色彩和肌理，并在此过程中去进行反复的推敲和思考，使得能达到与传统的技法和当代理念进行对话和升华。作品最终通过色彩强烈、具有动感的抽象形体，丰富的肌理、色带和小碎块的等元素来使得雕塑充溢着具有动感的装饰性,并渐渐地转到具象的表现上来。在他看来，具象的形式能更好地表达对社会、人生问题的思考。作品题材一般源于神话传说和历史,对时下的事件、人物、行为、想法等进行重新配置，通过自己艺术化的处理，转变成一种发人深省、带有哲理性的东西，形成具有空想和没有时间限制的戏剧场景。
Zhenning Li’s glass sculpting artworks are mainly created by relatively traditional lost-wax process. In the lost-wax process, the colour and texture of the work will be controlled by repeated burning, also repeated deliberation and analyzing will be taken place, so that the combination and sublimation between traditional skills and contemporary ideas would occur. Through intense-coloured and dynamic shapes, rich texture and other elements like coloured tape and fine-grained chippings, the sculpture would be filled with dynamic decoration, then gradually turn to concrete expression. In his point of view, the concrete form will establish thinking in terms of the society, life much better. The theme of the artwork is usually originated from tales of legend and history, then reallocate according to contemporary events, figures, actions and ideas through personal artistic transition. As a result, a thought-provoking and philosophical thing would be brought up and create a dramatic scene with daydreams and no time limit.

艺术家李振宁毕业于清华大学美术学院工艺美术系，获研究生学位，现任北京建筑大学建筑学院教师。他的作品基本就是对社会某一阶段的历史关注，在作品中隐隐地流露,那些抽象化的人和物有着模糊的身份、模糊的性别，加上流动变幻的色彩，将戏剧的情节性含蓄地融入到玻璃雕塑之中去。而对古老文明的回应,也是对当今状况的提问。”为何我在这里，为了什么”,这个问题人们仍然是不断探索和思考。而玻璃雕塑至今为止是李振宁创作的主要方式，他似乎真的没有什么特别绝对的理由，也许仅仅就是一种感觉和选择而已。他想说他很享受用玻璃来创作的过程，这其中包含两个概念:时间和意外。
Li Zhenning works center on a certain period in history, which is put very implicitly. The identity and gender of the abstract figures and objects are intentionally muddled; with the flow and changes of colors, he has infused stories into the glass works, to prepare a response to the ancient civilization and raise a question for the current time: “Why am I here, and for what?” Such questions keep people exploring and thinking. This is a brief description about his works, and he would like to emphasize more on how he thought and worked during his creation.
There is no definite reason behind Li Zhenning creating art mainly through glass sculptures so far: perhaps it’s just an intuitive choice. He so enjoys the process of working with glass, which involves two concepts: time and the unintended.
