李喻然是一个混合媒介的艺术家,涉及雕塑,绘画,行为和剧场。作品隐晦诗意的揭露着人类的挣扎与欲望,以及现实与神话间的渗透边界,现阶段注重研究在英中国移民的挣扎与困惑。李喻然于2019年毕业于金史密斯纯艺术研究生,并获得金史密斯校友基金,作品于科学画廊,IKLECTIK,Ugly Duck,旧手术室博物馆,Safe House等多处展出,并于Blackheath Halls演出自己编剧导演的戏剧。

Her paintings are inspired by ancient Chinese murals, cultural heritage, and craftsmanship. Yuran strives to establish a dialogue bridge between the past and the present in her artwork. Rooted in the challenge to anthropocentrism, she delves into the personification of vanished objects and artefacts. Additionally, her works also encompass the depiction of traces of human activities, which serve as containers of temporal and spatial memories. For instance, she combines ancient three-colour pottery horse figurines with contemporary plastic and felt toy horses for children, illustrating the functional transformation of Jue.

李喻然的绘画受到中国古代壁画、文化遗产和手工艺品的启发。她致力于在作品中建立过去与现在的对话桥梁,挑战人类中心主义,并深入探索已消逝物品和文物的拟人化。她的作品还表达了人类活动痕迹的描绘,这些痕迹成为时空记忆的容器。例如,她将古代的三彩陶马玩偶与当代塑料和毛毡小马玩偶结合,也有绘画描绘了爵的功能性转变。
