Li Tangting’s practice explores the internal mechanisms of art, examining how time operates within artistic systems and how art moves, permeates, and reorganizes itself across different contexts. He considers painting as a primordial site for the emergence of thought—an open field where visual language is deconstructed and reassembled, allowing painting to transcend its formal boundaries and become a vessel for knowledge and experience.  
‍
In his work, time, materiality, and the subconscious intertwine to form an ever-shifting visual network, keeping his paintings in a state of unresolved openness. This disruption of linear narrative invites the viewer into a suspended reality, where meaning remains fluid and contingent. His research extends to the operations of visual systems, the archaeology of knowledge, and the potential of images as critical tools. By navigating the gaps within institutional structures and cultural power dynamics, he seeks to reshape the language of painting and explore its yet-to-be-defined possibilities in contemporary culture.
