黎家齐 LI Jiaqi
jeekwai@foxmail.com
Jiaqi Li focuses on the field of visual art, specializing in painting and object making. He delves into the gray area between virtuality and reality in the age of AI and screens, as well as how people view and perceive the world. Influenced by the aesthetics of 3D virtual environments and theatrical staging techniques, he draws parallels between real life, game worlds and theatrical scenes, proposing that people in society become part of the spectacle in others' eyes through pretense and role-playing. Li is now a PhD Candidate at City University of Hong Kong and was awarded the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship. Since 2026, Li has been a Grant Examiner at the Hong Kong Arts Development Council and Co-Editor at the journal Everyday Life. Li received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as a China Scholarship Council (CSC)-sponsored student (2021) and BFA from the Central Academy of Fine Arts (2019). As a visiting scholar, he has visited Columbia University (2027), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2026), and Glasgow School of Art (2017). |
黎家齐专注视觉艺术领域,擅长绘画和现成品创作。他关注AI和屏幕时代虚拟与现实边界间的灰色地带,以及当今人们的观看和认知方式。受三维虚拟环境的美学、剧场搭建的技术影响,他将人们的现实生活与游戏世界、舞台剧场做比较,提出社会中的人们在假装和扮演中也成为他人眼中景观的一部分。其作品以异域审美和文化意象为特色,在杂揉丰满的理想和骨感的现实过程中,传递一种具有电子感和快餐感的世界观。 黎家齐现为香港城市大学博士候选人,获全额港府奖学金(HKPFS)。自2026年起,黎家齐是香港艺术发展局评审员和期刊《Everyday Life》联合编辑。黎家齐2019年本科毕业于中央美术学院;2021年以国家公派留学生的身份从美国芝加哥艺术学院硕士毕业。其作为访问学者曾到访美国哥伦比亚大学(2027)、上海交通大学(2026)、英国格拉斯哥艺术学院(2017)。 |
