About
Lihong Bai (白莉鸿) is a London-based, Chinese-born artist, painter, performer, and filmmaker.
Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts alumnus.
Completed her MA in Contemporary Painting at the Royal College of Arts.
Lihong began learning traditional Chinese painting at the age of 6. She was deeply influenced by traditional Chinese Taoist philosophy and Foucault’s spatial philosophy, which led her to develop a unique style that combines traditional techniques with contemporary approaches. She is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of painting through performance and media, as evident in her work. Lihong focuses on Asian identities amid cultural change, Chinese women’s social attributes, Generation Z’s perspective, and personal unconscious struggles. Additionally, she explores the heterotopias that exist in different spaces. Her work delves into the relationship between the philosophy of life, feminism, nature, and science.
Her works have been showcased at the Malta Biennale, Milan International Film Festival, Beijing Time Museum, and various galleries in London, Japan, and Paris. The artist also received the Hong Kong Best Contemporary Artist Newcomer Award. Her work has been featured in Art-Net, Artplugged, Trebuchet Magazine, FAD Magazine, Artron Art, Art China, and China Contemporary Art Network.
