I took a lump of mud in my hand and squeezed it back and forth, leaving a lot of finger grooves on it. It suddenly occurred to me that this is like us in middle age, being kneaded and squeezed by various invisible forces Even if the body is covered with scars, you have to work hard to stay alive. I use living objects as a metaphor for people. The steel needles passing through the "body", the black geometric clouds, the burning flames and the partial burning state of objects all metaphor the anxiety, helplessness and pain of people reaching middle age. It presents the mirror image of people when they face the mirror of life.
"In Lu Shouhui's works, brush and ink still play a pivotal role. However, the traditional Chinese painting tools-ink and brush are used by the painter to extend his views on Western-style abstract expressionism. The lines of the rainbow form a stark contrast and are constructed in this carefully calculated ultra-stable composition. At the same time, some contemporary symbols such as Internet emoji or traffic signals also appear in the work, adding a bit of conceptual flavor to the work. Elements. Lu Shouhui incorporates a radical approach to self-liberation to understand and expand the practice of ink painting through its deconstruction and representation.”
——Gonzalo Montañés, Spanish curator/art critic
