Lu Lin, Gathering, 2017, 200 x 150 cm, Acrylic on canvas
Nanman Art presents “Inner Impression – Lu Lin Art Exhibition”. The solo art exhibition will be held from 29 Feb to 29 Mar 2020 at Orchard Rendezvous Hotel, Singapore, 1 Tanglin Road Singapore 247905.
As a serious artist Lu Lin has many strengths: a modern outlook, a sound art foundation and his sensitivity. Two of the most significances are his belief in and his ability in artistic experimentation and innovation. In his work titled Forest he experimented with, and broke new ground in, the important element of composition arrangement. In the work – executed with instinctive swiftness – he created an abstract composition exuding invigoration with his two favourite driving forces – vivid realism and revealing symbolism. In a captivating work titled Three Friends Lu explored the expressive scope made possible by the technical command of sweeping brushwork. Amazingly, Lu succeeded in infusing the brushstrokes with tonal range, sensitive nuances and – most valuable of all – instinctive evocation.
Light and colour, two formidable artistic forces, have fascinated the great artistic talents in modern art history in the West. French artist, Claude Monet and English artist, William Turner – the giants in modern Western art – forged timeless masterpieces. In Lu’s artistic endeavor, the elements light and colour have been – for him – an irresistible challenge. In the work titled Twilight he probed into the flux and change of twilight light and eventually created a work infused with visual mystery, enchantment and beauty. In another work, the painting titled In The Water Lu took the colour black – which was difficult to exploit – to its zenith. With predominant black and a sprinkle of red, blue, green and white he transformed an uninspiring river-scene into a work singing with visual illumination and poetic ecstasy.
