Biography
Xiaoqiao Li is an artist, academic and researcher whose work examines the intersection of analogue imprints and digital imprints, particularly in analysing digital print matrices. Li's practice-based approach sheds light on the complexities of printmaking in the digital era by investigating how digital imaging information is captured, retained, lost, and transmitted.
He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Visual Arts from Macao Polytechnic University, a Master of Arts in Visual Arts: Printmaking from Camberwell College of Arts (University of the Arts London), and a PhD from the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University, where he was honoured with the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. Li's works have received international recognition, including the Clifford Chance Purchase Prize (UK) and the Young Chinese Artists Award at the Beijing International Art Biennale.
Beyond his studio practice, Li actively contributes to academia through presentations at conferences and articles published in the IMPACT Printmaking Journal and Leonardo (MIT Press), fostering dialogue among artists and scholars in both traditional printmaking and digital art. As he continues to learn and grow, Li hopes that his continuous efforts will contribute to evolving discussions in the field.
