| Lu Jun, a leading Chinese contemporary artist returns to La Lanta Fine Art to present his new body of work featuring photography and video installation in “Evolution” exhibition.
“Evolution” features a new print series titled “Scholar” which is inspired by the idea of the abstraction of Chinese characters. The Scholar series seems to mirror the increasing fluidity of the today’s Chinese mentality by moving away from the concrete representation of meaning towards an abstract form of the visual language. The pictographic nature of Chinese characters deeply influences the philosophy of Chinese thinking, including the concept that painting and calligraphy are similar forms of artistic expression.
For the first time, a creation of video works produced in collaboration with Canadian jazz musician David Braid is on view. The video work "Music Moves My Heart" features free expression of Chinese ink in the same spirit nature with spontaneous performance of jazz.
