Nicole Di

Nicole is a British Chinese artist working across painting, printmaking and drawing. Her work considers nature's behaviour rather than its appearance. The Daoist notion of Change within Chinese philosophy alongside concepts of turbulence, and multi-dimensional space within modern physics, drives her interest in the points where nature's systems and rules begin to break down into speculation. Moments of unintentional coordination calibrate and recalibrate. Processes of erasure, folding, pouring, peeling and working on both sides of the surface, are used to open up the work to contingency, which for her, is a tool for a different kind of noticing.

She graduated in 2025 from Goldsmiths where she was awarded The Cass Art Materials Award and V22 Studio Scholarship. She recently had her first solo exhibition ‘Traces in Mist’ 2025 in Chongqing, China, after completing a two month residency at Organhaus and was shortlisted for the 2024 Cass Art Prize. Recent selected group exhibitions include ‘Memento Amoris’, Lido Stores, Margate 2026; ‘The Cass Art prize’, Copeland Gallery, London 2025 and 2024; ‘Summer Day’, Sillian Gallery, London 2025; ‘In Days of Heatwave II: Among the Hydrocommons’, Safe House Gallery, London 2024; ‘Revelation’, Harts Lane Gallery, London 2024; ‘Goldsmiths vs HFBK who will win?’, HFBK, Hamburg 2024.
