Biography

LU Song  (b. 1982) graduated from Wimbledon College of Art, University of London in 2006 with a Master's Degree in Painting, and returned to China the following year, where he currently lives and works in Beijing. The artist is enthusiastic about adding literary sensibilities and montage-like textures to his paintings, mapping out the perception of light in the massive colouration of great somberness, embodied with the confrontation against narrative and the obsession with autobiographical memory.

 

His recent solo exhibitions include "Empty Space. The light beyond the shadow" (Massimo De Carlo Pièce Unique, Paris, 2023), "Japanese Garden" (Don Gallery, Shanghai, 2021), "PURPLE SKIN" (Massimo De Carlo, Hong Kong, 2021), "Interni Romani/Roman Interiors" (Mattatoio, Roma, 2018), "Combe" (Massimo De Carlo, Hong Kong, 2018), "The Room Upstairs" (Massimo De Carlo, London, 2018), "Flow" (OCAT Xi’an, Xi’an, 2017), "Control Point" (Don Gallery, Shanghai, 2017), "The Drunken Beggar on Horseback" (Galeria Nicodim, Bucharest, Romania, 2015), "Hills Beyond the Backdrop" (Alexandre Ochs Galleries, Berlin, 2014), "To the River till Sunrise" (Dominik Mersch Gallery, Waterloo/Sydney, Australia, 2013), "To One Who Has Been Long in City Pent" (Alexandre Ochs Galleries, Berlin, 2012). He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions such as "Tales of the South" (He Art Museum, Foshan, 2023), "A Theatre of Waiting" (The Cloud Collection, Nanjing, 2023), "Un dialogue avec la sensibilité — Écriture, Désir, Amour" (Being Art Museum, Shanghai, 2022), "2022 Beijing Biennial" (Beijing, 2022) and "In Memory of a Landscape 2" (James Cohen Gallery, Shanghai, 2015), amongst others.
