Li Hei Di, born in Shenyang, China in 1997, studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Chelsea College of Art - University of the Arts London, and received their Bachelor of Arts in 2020. In 2022, they received a master’s degree in painting at the Royal College of Art in London. Based on their own growth and emotional experience, Li Hei Di has developed a semiotic system of painting that is ambiguous and unique, which often lies at the intersection of popular films culture, gender performativity and classic still l ife. In their diverse and expressive practice of sculpture, installation and performance, the artist continues to explore the diversity of their own gender and body experience, challenging the supremacy of heterosexuality, alluding to the instinct, the truth, and the freedom of pure desire.
