Beili Liu (Chinese: 刘北立; born 1974) is a Chinese-born US-based visual artist who makes large-scale, process-driven sculptural environments that examine themes of migration, cultural memory, materiality, labor, social and environmental concerns.

[1] Through unconventional use of commonplace materials and elements such as thread, needle, scissors, feather, salt, wax, and cement, Liu extrapolates complex cultural narratives through a hybrid work form that merges site-responsive installation, sculpture, public art, and performance.

DeWitt Cheng, art critic for Artillery, noted in 2012 that "The idea of aggression and danger halted by gentle restraint is ... embodied" in Liu's site-specific installations.

[8] Beili Liu is a 2022-2024 Andrew Carnegie Fellow, representing the first visual artist awarded this humanities and social sciences fellowship in support of scholarship that "addresses important and enduring issues confronting our society."

Liu is a 2021-2022 Fulbright Distinguished Scholar as the Arctic Chair to Norway, and a 2016 Joan Mitchell Painters and Sculptors Grant recipient.
