Orange Li with the paintings “Time Machine Mind and Spaceship Body“ and “Hell Courtesan

My practice largely draws from my memories, dreams, and the intuitive connection between the body and the psychological state of the individual. I delve into the interconnectedness between nature, time-space travel, and herstory while also examining the potential relationship among art, spirituality, and storytelling. 

I aim to address societal norms and give voice to the hidden and oppressed aspects through herstory while holding a thread of hope to explore the wonder in nature.  My work searches for the links that connect the human and natural worlds in an attempt to create a Gesamtkunstwerk (universal artwork), synthesizing different forms of knowledge into my own aesthetic logic.

My work has been shown in select exhibitions such as Gern en Regalia, New York (2026), Bienvenu Steinberg & C, New York (2025), The Drawing Center Benefit Show, New York (2024), Latchkey Gallery, New York (2024), Elza Kayal Gallery, New York (2023) Village One Arts Gallery, New York (2021, 2023); Mana Contemporary, Jersey City (2021); Monira Foundation, Jersey City (2021)
