Tin Yu Chow (AKA Litco) is a Hong Kong-born artist based in the United Kingdom. Her practice explores identity, alienation, and memory through participatory installations, painting, and video, creating new forms of communication beyond language. Having recently completed her BA in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University, she draws on her experience growing up in the dense emotional landscape of Hong Kong and relocating to the UK, using art to navigate cultural distance and personal loss. Humor and playfulness are central to her work, offering unexpected ways to approach difficult emotions and connect with audiences.

Her recent project, Sze you tomorrow?, documents the unexplained disappearance of a close friend, using pigment, fading figures, and liminal spaces to process absence and unresolved connection. This body of work evolved into Hitting?, a participatory video installation inspired by Hong Kong’s 打小人 ritual, reimagined as a site for emotional release rather than revenge.

Litco has exhibited at Surface Gallery (Nottingham), the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, and Nottingham Playhouse. She won the Young Creative Award in Visual Art (2025), was Second Runner-Up in the Creative Changemaker Influencer Awards, and was shortlisted for the Young Creative Awards (2024) in the Animation category. She has held two solo exhibitions in the United Kingdom, and her works have been collected by local and foreign rubbish/recycle bins as well as institutions like the Nottingham Trent University School of Art and Design’s recycling room.
