Amy Hui Li

Born 1997 in Guangzhou, China

Lives and works in London, UK 

Amy Hui Li completed a MA in painting from the Royal College of Art in 2023 after receiving a BA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2020. Li explores the body and emotions through her abstract visual language and the reflective self. Her work challenges the definition and boundary of what can be called painting by using mixed media, oil and felt on organza. 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.
