​ Li Xiaoqi, born in Shandong in June 1983, is a Chinese artist currently residing and working in Chongqing. He graduated from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2005. Li Xiaoqi's artworks are characterized by a dreamlike quality, with vague depictions of characters and subtle physical features. This indeterminate imagery reflects the uncertain nature of dreams. Li Xiaoqi's artistic expression carries a strong appeal, predominantly utilizing black and gray-brown tones, occasionally accentuated by blood-like red hues. The absence of vibrant colors does not evoke a sense of gloom or melancholy but rather infuses the artwork with a transcendent spiritual power, surpassing mere human existence. This juxtaposes with another prevalent theme in his works, that of loneliness and death, creating a compelling interplay of complementary and conflicting elements.
