Born in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province in 1994, Li Hanwei graduated from the Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts in 2018, and currently lives and works in Shanghai. Li\u2019s practice is based on adapting forms of commercial advertisements and films as metaphors. Through the study of communication methods, the artist uses CG images to establish a worldview in the fictional world where counterfeit of the real world and science-fiction coexist, as a way to present the intersection of contemporary cultural forms and individual identities. Li was nominated for \u201cDior Photography and Visual Arts Award for Young Talents\u201d in 2020 and for \u201cART POWER 100 YOUTH POWER\u201d in 2019. He was awarded as \u201cPORSCHE Young Chinese Artist of the Year\u201d in 2023.<\/p>\n
