NOTE:
Lu Hao graduated from the Chinese Ink Painting department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1992. By the mid-1990s, Lu Hao became internationally recognized as an accomplished ink painter. Over time he began to use his artistic talent to express his concern about the disparity between China's classical civilization and China's transformation into modernity propagated by a worldwide consumer culture. Over the last twenty years the major theme of Lu Hao's paintings has been his deep dismay at the destruction of China's ancient cities and his desire to preserve the vision of traditional China through his sketch-like oil paintings that capture old Chinese neighborhoods. Lu Hao's work has been shown at Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Bienal de Sao Paulo; Istanbul Biennial; and the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing.
