Peipei Li
Peipei Li (b.1996, Shenyang, China) works as a multimedia artist. She earned her BFA in illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design and her MFA from the California College of the Arts in 2024. Li had her debut solo installation project, "New Order," at Yiwei Gallery in April 2022. Her paintings have been exhibited at the San Francisco Art Fair and Intersect Palm Springs, and collected by the Sasse Museum of Art.
Peipei Li's art explores the interplay between chaos and human emotions, inspired by traditional Chinese Taoist philosophy which highlights how power and truth emerge from life's chaotic fabric. Her portraits purposefully exclude facial features yet effectively convey identities, emphasizing that emotions stem from within rather than outward appearances. In tandem with her paintings, Li's provocative genital-like dolls confront societal taboos surrounding sex education and norms, stimulating dialogues on gender, sexuality, family planning policies, and reproductive rights.
