Wales, Australia. Lu’s art style reflects his personal journey
and respected position within the early 1980’s Chinese Elite
Student Movement and the significant “85 New Wave Art
Movement”.

Trained in both Eastern and Western traditions, he often
combines the two to create unique hybrid styles of mixed
media of acrylic and oil with both oil and Chinese ink brush
techniques. Lu’s such unique styles can be seen from his
“Memory Series”(since 2002), “Dripping Fluid Series”(since
2003), and “The Origin Series”(since 2010), which had been
exhibited globally and published by the previous issues
of The World of Art Magazine and many other online and
printed art media worldwide.
