Xi Li (b. Suzhou, China) is an artist who works across printmaking, painting, and mixed media installation to explore image-making processes and the construction of alternative narratives in contemporary culture. By layering printed surfaces, archival images from circulated printed matter, and translucent materials like silk organza, her work examines how images accumulate meaning, resist it, and eventually become something else entirely. Li has exhibited internationally at François Ghebaly (Los Angeles), AMANITA, SARA’s, and LATITUDE Gallery (New York), MadeIn Gallery (Shanghai), and among others. She was awarded the Aperture 2023 Creator Labs Photo Fund and was an Artist-in-Residence at Silver Art Projects in 2024. She holds a Bachelor degree in design from Pratt Institute and an MFA from Yale School of Art. Li is an AICAD teaching fellow at School of the Art Institute of Chicago 2025-2026.
