Shuangyi Li (b. 2000, Heilongjiang, CN) lives and works in London, UK. Her atemporal paintings eschew specificity of time and place, at one moment recalling the Victorian tragedies of the Brontë sisters, in another the contemporary experience of urban life, and in another a contemplative arboreal landscape. Li constructs images shaped by mood and tension rather than through fixed narratives, reflecting a coming-of-age experience that is at once isolating and universal. Her elusive scenes suspend legibility, suggesting residual moments of inaccessible mystery shaped by withdrawal and the material conditions of paint and surface.

In 2024, Li received her BFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London, UK. Recent solo exhibitions include Sea View, Los Angeles, CA (2026); Hive Center for Contemporary Art, Shanghai, CN (2025); Painters Painting Paintings (2025); and group exhibitions include NADA Miami, Sea View, Miami, FL (2025); Hew Hood Gallery, London, UK (2025); The Artist Room, London, UK (2024); and Chilli Art Projects, London, UK (2024). Li is in the public collection of X Museum, Beijing, China.
