F ollowing the announcement of Pace Gallery’s representation of emerging artist Li Hei Di, Li is now the youngest artist under Pace's roster. Recently, Li was also honored as one of Forbes' "30 Under 30" in 2024 for their exceptional talent. After earning a Master’s degree from the Royal College of Art in 2022, Li Hei has received numerous exhibitions, including their first solo show with Pace in Hong Kong Tongues of Flare (May-August 2025), Uncanny Valley at Gagosian Gallery in Hong Kong (2023), and Home is Where the Haunt Is at X Museum in Beijing (2023). They are represented in the collects ions of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the High Museum in Atlanta; the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio; the Hepworth Wakefield; the Long Museum in Shanghai; and the Yageo Foundation in Taiwan.
Li Hei Di’s artistic approach is profoundly shaped by their cross-cultural background, merging Eastern and Western artistic traditions to explore themes of identity, desire, and change.
The interplay of physical experiences and societal contexts deeply informs Li’s cathartic creations. Through their work, they continue to explore the rich diversity of inner gender and bodily experiences, inviting viewers to engage with their work on a deeply personal level.
