London Art Fair 2026
The London Art Fair brings together an exceptional line-up of modern and contemporary galleries from around the world, and we were thrilled to be sponsors as it returned to Islington for its 38th year.
At XPENG, design sits at the heart of everything we do. Like the London Art Fair, we’re driven by innovation and creating experiences that spark surprise, comfort and curiosity.
As you explore our presence at the art fair, keep an eye out – creativity may extend beyond the canvas.
“XPENG UK is delighted to be partnering with the London Art Fair for 2026. XPENG as a brand is constantly innovating and investing in R&D; design is at the centre of all we do. We recognise that art, like automotive engineering, is as technical as it is emotionally driven; from colour theory to the mastery of different mediums. Design constantly inspires new possibilities. Both XPENG and the London Art Fair are committed to evoking feelings in our customers: surprise, comfort, and curiosity, creating experiences that continue to resonate. Whether that’s through the art on your wall at home or the car parked outside, we believe in delivering experiences that are truly impactful on an emotional level, and stand the test of time.”
Alison Aldridge, Head of Brand Marketing, XPENG UK
Our Design Philosophy
“To create the perfect union between hardware and software; developing vehicles not only for the expectations of today, but with a commitment to tomorrow. Our vehicles balance aesthetics, comfort and functionality while continuing to evolve, futureproofing your purchase via over-the-air updates and intelligent software platforms.”
Rafik Ferrag, Zhu Sisi and Oriol Vilanova Calonge of XPENG’s design team delivered a talk, exploring the balance between rational design and emotional storytelling – and how XPENG’S vehicles move from visionary concept to real-world experience.
XPENG x Mr Lee Collaboration
Mr Lee is a London-based, British-born Chinese artist and designer who’s distinctive linework and stylised characters bridge Chinese heritage and Western contemporary culture.
Challenged with creating the backdrop for our booth within the London Art Fair, Mr Lee eagerly presented the opportunity to visualise the flow, harmony and connectivity between XPENG’s users and XPENG’s intelligent, self-updating systems.
Find out more about how Mr Lee’s own creative process aligns with XPENG’s design philosophy, and get a behind-the-scenes look at how our final booth artwork came to life.
