Lawrence Lek

artist, b. 1982, based in London, United Kingdom.

Lawrence Lek (陆明龙) is a London-based artist who combines his background in architecture and electronic music to build CGI films and immersive virtual worlds. Set within an ongoing Sinofuturist cinematic universe, his work explores worldbuilding as a form of collage, incorporating historical and imaginary elements to develop speculative fictions based on the perspective of the Other. In 2021, he received the LACMA Art + Technology Lab Grant and the 4th VH Award Grand Prix. Lek holds a PhD from the Royal College of Art, and is represented by Sadie Coles HQ, London.
