Li-Hill's work attempts to decipher the complexities of the rapid development in our modern age. Through the western gaze Li-Hill points to the devastating effects of capitalist culture on the individual psyche, his work serves as a template for the ramifications felt on a global scale. The work mirrors the perception of the westerner attempting to comprehend, disentangle and redress. Born out of suppression, it becomes a manifestation portraying the skewed image of the imprint our culture has globally. To create these complex images Li-Hill blurs the lines between the imposed disciplines of the art world such as graffiti, graphic design, painting and drawing to disrupt the concepts of what is considered high and low-brow art. Through the storm of imagery and density there is also a beauty that surfaces from this fragile balance. Inspired by the precariousness of the work on the street, ephemerality is injected into the core of the work, furthering its unsettling nature.  

In The Artists Words…

"My work usually weaves between themes and tries to build connections between them. In a broader context I employ a sense of movement, which is usually the most consistent “theme” if you can call it that. This movement could be seen as exploring ephemerality. Issues of aggression, climate change, information saturation and global political tensions are just a few that arise in my work. However, in many ways I see the main question these fall within is how contemporary capital driven society affects both the inner and outer worlds, psychologically and ecologically." - Li-Hill
