Li Xianglong was born in 1995 in Huangshi, China. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the Illustrated Book Studio of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts and obtained his Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York.
His work remixes material from pop culture, internet imagery, philosophical texts, and 3D models; devising and reformulating explorations of ruins, social events, and everyday life. The artist’s language of painting is rife with morbid jokes, cultural mistranslations, and mockery of a burnt-out society, thus revealing the fragmented morality behind racism and office abuse.
