I miss the sun. The lack of light makes me search for light in my paintings.

 

— Li Hei Di

Born in Shenyang, China, in 1997, Li Hei Di attended Maryland Institute College of Art followed by Chelsea College of Art, and has a MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London. In 2022, LINSEED Projects, Shanghai presented the artist’s first solo exhibition, Tits at Dawn. She has been included in group shows at Galerie Marguo (2023); Gagosian, Hong Kong (2023); Pippy Houldsworth Gallery, London (2023); Downs & Ross, New York (2022), Public Gallery, London (2022) and LINSEED Projects, Shanghai (2022), amongst others. Her first solo exhibition with Pippy Houldsworth Gallery will take place in early 2024.

 

Li Hei Di’s effervescent paintings are abstract portraits of longing, desire and seduction. Repressed, animalistic feelings are translated into ephemeral scenes. She now lives and works in London.
