Larry is a Chinese American artist born and raised in the bay area, California. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.

His practice combines the visual language of Chinese culture with historical and familial photographs in his paintings. He explores the intersections of familial and political histories, casting a critical lens on the complexities of cultural hybridity. Li's material process layers drawings, paint, and photo transfers, embedding found cultural symbols throughout the surface. Through this process, he confronts his own cultural amnesia and grapples with third culture identities developed through diaspora. His paintings highlight the detachment yet longing to belong and return to a culture lost through migration and assimilation. Li often juxtaposes loaded political protest imagery, such as photos from the Tiananmen Square Massacre, with bright auspicious symbols from his childhood. These symbols become a filter to experience and interact with generational trauma. Inspired by his parents' immigrant story and their firsthand experience of the protest, Li hopes to piece together a fragmented perspective of his family's history through his practice.
