Since 2000, he practices art professionally, his artworks have been
exhibited, published, awarded, and collected globally. Trained in
both Eastern and Western traditions, he often combines the two
to create unique hybrid styles with both oil and Chinese ink brush
techniques. "The Memory Series 2002-03” originated his Xie-Yi acrylic
& oil painting（写意丙烯油画）which evokes both real and imaginary
landscapes where 1980's Chinese students pondered philosophy,
psychology, literature, economics, art, and science. Lu created the
"Dripping Fluid” technique in his “Memory Series: Talking about Dreams"
in 2003. Since 2010, Lu has created the Abstract Art of Philosophy of
Science - "The Origin Series", to visualize his intuitions about the origin
of life, nature, and universe with his bold and fluent brush strokes.
