Artist Profile
Amy Hui Li
Chinese artist who lives and works in London
Amy Hui Li (b.1997, Guangzhou) is a Chinese artist who lives and works in London. She received an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in the summer 2023 after a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2020. Li explores the body through her abstract visual language and the reflective self. Li’s biological forms evoke veins and blood vessels, exploring our hidden emotions as well as processes of self-healing and repairing. Repetitively tearing and reshaping home-made felt materials, Li expresses fragility, brokenness and a drive towards intimacy. Varying in their opacity and texture, her paintings speak of honesty, the exposed self and the brave act of being willing to be vulnerable. Her works seek to spark resonance and challenge the audience to self-reflect and face their inner self. By titling her work only in lowercase, she also expresses a sense of humility.
