Qinbin Li

Qinbin Li, born in 1996 in Anhui, China, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in oil painting from the China Academy of Art in 2019.

 

He completed his master’s degree in oil painting at the same institution in 2022.

 

He currently works and lives in Amoy and Hangzhou. Qinbin Li’s creation focuses on the eternal desire for evolution and expansion of life. His series “MADE IN HEAVEN” explores this theme, starting from the imitation of divine creation through ordinary human-made objects, progressing to the exploration of metaphor and narrative significance, and finally to the autonomous creation by AI, the ultimate human-made object.

Humanity achieves an evolution “from human to divine,” while AI, becoming the offspring of this “new god,” is granted life and again enacts the evolutionary journey of “machines becoming gods.” The exploration and challenge of the unknown and the dangerous point directly to the aspiration for ever-expanding human capabilities.
