About Me
Zishuo Li is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist. With an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, Media, and Design from OCAD University, a BFA in Drawing & Painting from the same institution, and a BEng in Electrical & Computer Engineering from McMaster University, Zishuo’s art practice is deeply informed by their diverse educational background. Their research interests revolve around natural materials and environmental philosophy, seeking to use natural materials to bring their ecological consciousness into various art forms, including installations, paintings, and time-based media.
Born in China, Zishuo’s practice is influenced by Daoism and traditional Chinese philosophy. Their recent works delve into the intricate relationship between humanity and nature, exploring how every vital material shapes our world and defining our existence. Through their art, Zishuo translates this profound connection into a visual language that speaks to our souls as Nature always does.
