Lu’s sense of mystery
Print Edition
ORGANIZED by the Chinese Culture Foundation, the solo-exhibition of Chinese artist Lu Chuntao is on display at the Visual Art Center, Chinese Culture Foundation of San Francisco through April 11 in the United States.
The exhibition titled “Mind Traveling” features nearly 30 ink-wash paintings created by Lu.
Through hazy moonlight, starry sky, misty dawn, poignant twilight and vast lotus pools, the artist creates images brimming with a sense of mystery and illusion.
His skillful use of water and ink reveals his deep understanding of the classical practice of “substituting ink for color” but is simultaneously completely at home with the theoretical conceptions of modern abstract expression. Instead of limiting himself to the concrete characteristics of the lotus leaves and blossoms, he pursues a state that Huang Binhong (1865-1955) described as being “of absolute likeness and absolute unlikeness to the object.”
