My practice centers on gay identity, queer narratives, and socio-political themes. Through performance, sculpture, and documentation, I examine desire, visibility, and the body as a site of both intimacy and resistance — where personal experience intersects with broader cultural and political discourse.
LYU BINGHE (b. 2005, China) is an artist currently studying at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin, Italy, under the guidance of Franko B. Their artistic practice centers on gay identity, queer narratives, and socio-political themes. In 2026, they present work alongside Franko B in una mostra del cazzo at STUDIODIECI VC, Vercelli — a collaboration curated by Diego Pasqualin that examines masculinity, desire, and the body as a site of both provocation and vulnerability.

una mostra del cazzo brings together Franko B and LYU BINGHE at STUDIODIECI VC, Vercelli — a non-profit contemporary art space committed to supporting young artists. Running from 18 April to 31 May 2026 and curated by Diego Pasqualin, the exhibition takes its title from everyday Italian speech and confronts the emblem of masculinity through sculpture, installation, and performance documentation.
The works decontextualise the phallus as both a collective symbol and a site of division — probing virility, desire, vulnerability, and the gap between public propriety and private longing. Franko B’s dramatic awareness meets LYU BINGHE’s irreverent boldness in a presentation that tests comfort, shame, and collective consciousness. Each piece is described by the curator as an erection aimed at the heart: stirring unspoken wishes, totems and taboos intertwined, members stripped of their bodies so they might belong to everyone and no one.
At the threshold of its fifty-five years of inquiry into the contemporary, StudioDieci remains free and accessible — consistent with its mission to promote emerging art. The exhibition stages vulnerability and hypocrisy: the solitude that frightens us most, and the courage required to engage with what we would rather not see. Free admission. Opening Saturday 18 April at 17:00, Piazzetta Pugliese Levi 10, Vercelli.
