  • Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum by Weimin He and Shelagh Vainker

    Chinese Prints 1950-2006 in the Ashmolean Museum

    The swimming of goldfish in Tiananmen represents the current state of living of the Chinese people.

    Lu Hao graduated from the Chinese Ink Painting Department of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1992 and now lives in Beijing as an independent artist. His experimental oeuvre has covered a variety of media including ink painting, oil painting, printmaking and installation works, focusing on symbolic and implied expression. In the late 1990s, using plexiglass, Lu created models of politically significant Beijing buildings as containers of flowers, birds, insects and fish, filling them with his social comments. Frequently involved on the international art stage, his work represents the new direction of thinking and the socially oriented face of contemporary art in China.
