man, his life and art spans from East to West, in his ongoing
quest for knowledge and creativity. In 1991, the celebrated
Hangzhou artist of China relocated to Australia to have his
postgraduate studies in philosophy, international studies, finance,
at The University of Wollongong and The University of Sydney
respectively; and further achieve triple Master’s degrees in Art,
Architecture and Design from The University of New South Wales,
Australia. Lu has worked in civil engineering, architecture, fashion,
stock trading and web linked e-business, but he never abandoned
his artistic passion. “All my interests—in art, science and
philosophy—come together in my artworks” he explains. With the
new millennium, he’s returned to the art practice professionally

in his Sydney studio and exhibited & published globally at major
world art fairs and galleries in China, Japan, Australia, USA, UK,
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, Holland, Spain,
Portugal, Danmark, East Europe and Middle East. He has also
become a leading contemporary Chinese art critic since 2012 with
top-ranked Chinese art webzines and digital media.
