Perspex construction on wood base, 2001, number 4 of 4.

5 x 45 x 30 in.

Note: The small holes on the top of this work were intended to hold roses.

Bejing-born artist Lu Hao was trained in Chinese ink painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in his native city where he became an accomplished and recognized ink painter. The conceptual theme of Lu Hao's work has been his dismay over the destruction of China's ancient cities and the push for modernity propagated by the Chinese government that is in contrast with China's great history. His work after 1997 strives to express these concerns through media other than classical ink drawing, as we can see with his series of monuments constructed out of Perspex. Lu Hao represents a new generation of Chinese artists working to make their voices heard through their art.
