Amy Hui Li

Amy Hui Li was born in Guangzhou, China in 1997. She received an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in 2023 after a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2020. Currently, she lives and works in London, UK.

Li explores the body through her abstract visual language and the reflective self. The biological forms in the works, resembling human veins and blood vessels, evoke a sense of delving into hidden emotions and facilitate 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. By titling her work only in lowercase, she also expresses a sense of humility. Her works ultimately seek to spark resonance, challenge the audience, and inspire self-reflection to honestly face their inner selves.
