Welcome to our new series ‘Get to know the artist’.
Here at the Laura I Gallery, we represent many artists… up third we have Lu Meng who was born in Beijing and currently works and lives there.
She mainly engages in acrylic, oil painting and digital collage art creation, with themes revolving around the exploration of life and human reflection in a highly technological civilization. Her style is primarily surreal and expressionist.
She began learning to paint at the age of four, receiving training in both traditional Chinese traditional brush painting and Western oil painting. During her university years, she studied film production under Professor Si Tu Zhaodun at Beijing Film Academy. After graduation, she worked
as a documentary director at China Central Television. Later, she obtained a masters degree in publishing studies from the University of Stirling in the UK, specializing in multimedia operations. Upon returning to China, she worked in visual communication design in enterprises. Now, she
has returned to fine art creation and is both an artist and a teacher of contemporary painting and art healing at an international art education organization in Beijing.
Her digital collage art is mainly sold to public areas in the United States through Turning Art, and there are also individual collectors. The Laura I. Art Gallery CIC in London, UK, represents her works and sells them on Artsy. At the same time, she is also listed on ArtMajeur, SaatchiArt,
Artpal, IANGRRY, ART Hole, and Mvibe Magazine Artmagazineium has reported on her works. She is also a brand alliance artist of Venture Pal in 2023. Her works are mainly collected by collectors in the United States, the United Kingdom, and China.
In the fields of art education and art healing, she is a lecturer of the UNESCO art healing certificate course, a certified member of ITAC (International Teaching Artists Collaborative), and a resident artist of the DAN CIC healing art project in the UK.
“I pursue an art that is not bound by logic and is intuitive, which stems from my yearning for freedom. I think I am exploring the relationship between freedom and constraint. Advanced technology has not made us freer. The Internet has enabled us to know more, but what we see is only what we want to see. We live by algorithms and hunt down those who are different from us on the Internet… The barriers in this world have not decreased despite the convenience of communication. In such an information-overloaded and fast-paced world, how can I maintain myself? How can I have freedom? One day, I saw a sentence: No matter what you believe in this world, there is always something else that exists. I was deeply touched by this sentence. Yes, I am painting “something else””
