Lu Chuntao attempts to express his mood and feelings through his semi-abstract paintings of lotus pond. For him, memories of his childhood and hometown and his inner reflections on life are indescribable. They can only be evoked by abstracting them into tangible scenes such as moonlight, sunrise, evening mist, and wilting lotus. Lu hopes to share his deepest emotions with the viewers and to enable them to wander with their eyes and heart in his landscape. Born in Shanghai, Lu Chuntao studied at the Shanghai International Studies University and currently serves as vice principal of the Shanghai Calligraphy and Painting Institute, visiting painter at Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy, member of the China Artists Association and the board of directors of the Shanghai Artists Association.
