N. Ho Family Foundation, at Tate, recently visited the artist’s studio and had a conversation about Li Hei Di’s current practice, study and research references, writes the following article regarding the exhibition:
I visited Li Hei Di’s studio in west London on a Thursday in early October. The 25-year-old painter, dressed in all black with a short perm, was rocking a style as distinct as her work. She never sketches before a painting, determined to “follow her feelings.” She says this leaves her in a constant state of anxiety, though sounding perfectly at ease as she says it. I can empathize with that feeling, that thrill of not knowing, of leaving the course of events to affects, drives, and want. It’s painting as a crime of passion, and crimes of passion are often addictive.
