Chi Peng (b. 1981) lives in New York and Beijing. He is an internationally acclaimed multimedia artist and educator whose work uses body language as a medium to explore the communal relationship between the body and public space. His work has consistently addressed homosexual spiritual consciousness and identity perception, and he is among the first generation of Chinese contemporary artists to discuss homosexuality as a central theme.

Peng began his creative career in 2003. In 2004, his student works were included in “One to One: Visions—Recent Photographs from China” at Chambers Fine Art in New York, curated by Feng Boyi. Since then, he has presented over forty solo exhibitions and participated in more than one hundred group exhibitions across twenty countries. His works have been shown at the Groninger Museum, Helsinki Museum of Contemporary Art, Rubell Museum, Ludwig Museum, Today Art Museum, White Space Beijing, and other institutions.

In 2011, his solo exhibition “Me, Myself and I, Photoworks 2003–2010” occupied 1,200 square meters at the Groninger Museum. Since 2012, he has taught photography and self-exploration courses at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. From 2018 to 2020, he wrote and directed his first feature film, As Water in Water. He currently devotes himself to painting.
