李驰
简介Biography
李驰，1990年出生于北京，2013年毕业于北京林业大学园林专业，现工作生活于北京。他从小画画，但并未进入美院系统，毕业后曾在北京从事设计工作。之后辞职前往成都度过了四年松散时光，期间在出版行业担任插画师，更多时候无业在家画画、做音乐、写文章。他自述不知如何定义这些时间，总归不算是艺术家。如今结婚后回到北京，在培训机构教小朋友画画，同时以很低的效率进行绘画创作。
Li Chi, born in 1990 in Beijing, graduated from Beijing Forestry University in 2013 with a degree in Landscape Architecture, and currently lives and works in Beijing. He has drawn since childhood but did not enter the fine arts academy system. After graduation, he worked in design in Beijing. He later resigned and went to Chengdu, where he spent four years of relaxed, unstructured time. During that period, he worked as an illustrator in the publishing industry, but more often he was unemployed at home painting, making music, and writing. He says he does not know how to define that time; in any case, he did not consider himself an artist. Now, after getting married, he has returned to Beijing, teaches children to draw at a training institution, and simultaneously creates paintings at a very low efficiency.

代表作与创作Selected Works & Style
根据“结构化艺术家档案数据”，艺术家李驰（Li Chi，1990年出生于北京）的代表作包括《为了几块钱》、《奥特曼大战国际饭店》、《罗素的茶壶》等。
其创作特点如下：
- **常用媒介**：丙烯、水彩、油画。
- **核心题材**：聚焦人物、城市景观与内在情感。
- **艺术风格**：属于意象与表现性具象，作品充满个人化的叙事与独特的观察视角。
从创作脉络来看，他并非美院体系出身，曾在设计、出版行业工作，并有过一段自由创作的松散时期。目前他在培训机构担任绘画教师的同时进行个人创作。其个展“工作、游戏和生活”（2024年）与“李驰A”（2023年）均体现了他在日常生活、工作与闲暇中提取创作灵感的特点，将个人经验转化为带有荒诞感和叙事性的视觉表达。
Li Chi's representative works include "Big Footprints" (2024), "Scimitar" (2024), "Why Always Me?" (2024), "Ultraman vs. International Hotel" (2022), "Russell's Teapot" (2022), and "Study of the Ra God No. 2" (2022), among others, mostly executed in oil on canvas, sometimes incorporating mixed media like clay and newspaper.
His creative style is characterized by a combination of imagery (意象) and expressive figuration (表现性具象), frequently using acrylic, watercolor, and oil paint. Thematically, Li Chi focuses on figures, urban landscapes, and emotions, often infusing his works with a sense of personal narrative, humor, and surreal juxtaposition. His background—studying landscape architecture rather than attending a formal art academy, and years of loose, self-directed practice in painting, music, and writing—informs an idiosyncratic, low-efficiency approach that merges everyday observations with whimsical, sometimes absurd, imagination. The paintings often have a raw, playful quality, reflecting the artist’s attempt to reconcile work, games, and life.
