Yihao Li is a Chinese-born visual artist, researcher, and educator in Glasgow, UK. His creative practice spans drawing, sculpture, and installation art, focusing on East Asian art, Orientalism, and fascination with the interplay between form and material. Start with a question on the physicality and three-dimensionality of sculpture, which necessarily invoke bodily relations – even in the most patently abstract of sculpture; his work employs a diverse array of materials to interpret and translate the concept of the erased body within the realm of pre-empirical knowledge. Ultimately, his works articulate a symbiotic relationship between form, materiality, and cultural identity, serving as a testament to the ongoing exploration of artistic expression and the complexities of human existence.
