lives and works in Beijing (China)


Li Tao (b. 1971, China) is a Beijing-based artist known for his use of diverse industrial materials as agents of intervention. His repurposing of materials challenges viewers to consider new perspectives and provides a critical lens through which to explore contemporary social, economic, and political systems. Through site-specific installations and sculptures, Li reflects the cultural and political context of the local area, prompting viewers to rethink their assumptions about the world around them.

His recent solo exhibitions include Chair BANK, Tabula Rasa Gallery (solo, Beijing, 2024); London Allotments, Tabula Rasa Gallery (solo, London, 2023); A Week, Tabula Rasa off-site project (Singapore, 2023); ARTsg 2023, Tabula Rasa Gallery (dual solo, Singapore, 2023); Pengzhou Bubble, AYE Gallery (Beijing, 2020); Universe · Secondary, Tabula Rasa Gallery and KWM artcenter (Beijing, 2019).
