清影

Li Yifan, born in 1996 in Lishui, Zhejiang, currently resides in Hangzhou. She completed her Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees in the Oil Painting Department at the China Academy of Art, and previously studied at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg. 

Li’s practice explores the porous relationship between the body, perception, and the world. Through recurring images of bodies, plants, water, thorns, conch shells, and eyes, she constructs pictorial spaces that move between reality and dream. In her paintings, the body is not a fixed subject, but a form continually  shaped and repositioned by layers of color, line, edge, and environment. Her work unfolds between softness and sharpness, intimacy and distance, balance and disorientation, allowing sensation to gradually take on a visible structure.
