Linling Lu was born in 1983 in Guizhou Province, China. Luʼs Chinese heritage is the core inspiration for her paintings that act as both visual meditations and color exercises. With strong architectural components, her paintings focus the viewer’s attention on a determined space (the painting) in order to engender focus around and beyond the painting. While consciously referencing past masters and personal history, Lu possesses a unique style, process, and vision.
