LUI Chun Kwong 呂振光
LUI Chun Kwong (b.1956, China) graduated with a BA degree at the National Taiwan Normal University in 1980, and a MA degree at Goldsmiths' College, University of London in 1994. He now serves as Associate Professor of the Department of Fine Arts, the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
One definitive character of LUI’s creative journey is its deep-seated insurgent nature. The paintings of the Landscape Series that LUI has been engaging for over twenty years are seen a challenge to the classical Chinese aesthetics of landscape, which has become well-known among audiences as the Yi Liu Shan Shui (Ever-flowing Landscape).
Since 1978, LUI has organized several solo-exhibitions in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and participated in many group shows in Asian museums and European galleries. LUI is not only a venerated artist, but also a mentor and a teacher of varied local artists from the new age, as well as a key figure in the development of contemporary art in Hong Kong.
