LIU LU

Liu Lu, 1991, Taizhou, China. She currently lives and works in Hangzhou. She graduated from the Oil Painting Department of China Academy of Art with a Master’s degree in 2017.

Liu Lu’s painting is based on a hazy and psychedelic visual experience of this era, revolving around the overlapping of light and shadow between the virtual and the real, she discovered that multiple exposures could connect images made in different time and space to create new illusions. She infuses the false and distorted yet delicate texture of “Gaussian blur” in filters into the paintings. She employs abstract shapes symbols, and lines to present those virtual yet daily existences. Liu Lu shows us another possibility of reestablishing real description and expression in a world where the boundaries between reality and falsehood, precision and ambiguity gradually blur.
