XiangLong Li
XiangLong Li (b.1995 HuangShi, China; lives in Manhattan, New York). He earned his BFA in Illustrated Book degree from China Central Academy of Fine Arts and received MFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts. In his body of works, he remixes images, texts, and 3D model materials from pop-culture, social events, and the internet. XiangLong's projects are full of sick jokes, make fun of cultural mistranslation and the cultural discrepancy between China and the West. He uses digital collages, painting, and screenshots exposing the fractured social mores of racism and western settler violence.
