ABOUT

Baige Li (b. 1999, Hunan, China) currently works and resides in Beijing. He earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Printmaking from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA), receiving the Nomination Award of the "A Thousand-mile Journey" and multiple scholarships. His works are collected by institutions including the China Printmaking Museum, CAFA Art Museum, Serbia Exhibition Hall, and private collectors.​

Li’s practice integrates printmaking logic into oil painting, emphasizing two core attributes: multiplicity (repetitive image structures) and flatness (woodcut-inspired hard-edge articulation). This approach constructs nonlinear narratives where repetition signifies temporal stasis, while fluid brushwork evokes transition. His works often feature surreal juxtapositions of figures and still lifes, stripped of social context, to forge implicit dialogues within non-narrative scenarios—such as still lifes symbolizing fragmented memories or mundane objects encoding event traces. The symbolic lexicon in his paintings operates as both immediate signifiers and time-sensitive catalysts, with geometric contours and gestural strokes colliding to create temporal-spatial folds.
