Lei Feng

Lei Feng is a Chinese-Australian artist living and working on Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia. Working across painting, drawing, and installation, her practice explores the poetics of chance, materiality, and embodied experience through a contemporary dialogue between Abstract Expressionism and Chinese calligraphic influences. Drawing on her two-decade career in actuarial science, Lei’s work examines the tension between systems of control and unpredictability through process-driven experimentation with gesture, material, and chance. Lei holds a Bachelor of Fine Art (Painting) from the National Art School (2025) and was a finalist in the 2026 Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize, Kedumba Drawing Award and a finalist in the Mosman Art Prize (2026)
