Lihong Bai (白莉鸿)

- is a London-based, Chinese-born artist whose practice spans across painting, performance, and filmmaking. After training in traditional Chinese ink painting throughout her childhood, she has since studied at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts (2023) and the Royal College of Art( RCA) in London, where she received an MA in Painting (2024).

Lihong's work draws from classical Chinese aesthetics, Zen philosophy, and Foucault's Heterotopia, culminating in a practice that bridges tradition and contemporary thought through the merging of ink, gesture, and time-based media. 

Her artistic language revolves around a broad notion of movement as physical, emotional, and cultural. She reflects on the transformations that occur in the crossing of places, languages, and ways of being. Rather than framing migration as a fractured experience, she explores it as a quiet reshaping — a slow and continuous process of growing.

By working with shifting surfaces (such as flowing ink, layered pigments, or live actions), Lihong traces the tension between presence and disappearance, memory and immediacy. In her practice, identity is not fixed but formed relationally through encounters, inheritances, and departures.

Lihong has exhibited at the Malta Biennale (2024), Milan International Film Festival (2023), and Shanghai International Arts Festival (2024). Her work is held in the collections of institutions such as the Beijing Contemporary Art Museum and the East Asian Art Museum in Bath, and she was awarded the Best Emerging Contemporary Artist Award in Hong Kong (2023).

白莉鸿是一位出生于中国的艺术家，现居伦敦，其创作领域涵盖绘画、表演和电影制作。她童年时期学习中国传统水墨画，之后就读于天津美术学院（2023），并于伦敦皇家艺术学院获得绘画硕士学位（2024）。

白莉鸿的作品汲取了中国古典美学、禅宗哲学以及福柯的“异托邦”理论，最终形成了一种通过水墨、手势和基于时间的媒介的融合，连接传统与当代思想的实践。

她的艺术语言围绕着“运动”这一广义的概念展开，涵盖身体、情感和文化层面。她反思在跨越地域、语言和存在方式的过程中发生的转变。她并非将迁徙视为一种断裂的体验，而是将其视为一种静默的重塑——一个缓慢而持续的成长过程。

通过运用流动的媒介（例如流动的墨迹、层叠的颜料或现场表演），莉鸿探寻存在与消失、记忆与即时性之间的张力。在她的实践中，身份并非固定不变，而是通过相遇、传承和离别而相互关联而逐渐形成新的自我。

李红的作品曾在马耳他双年展（2024）、米兰国际电影节（2023）和上海国际艺术节（2024）展出。她的作品被北京当代艺术馆和巴斯东亚艺术博物馆等机构收藏，并荣获香港最佳新锐当代艺术家奖（2023）。
