Hang Lu

Artist Lu Hang is one of the few Chinese artists born in the 1980s to directly capture elements of historical images to create. He grew up in Beijing. In high school, he practiced drawing at the Beijing train station for four consecutive years, taking as his model ordinary people waiting for the train. Among them were businessmen, thieves, farmers, students, civil servants and soldiers. From an early age, he followed his mother, a journalist, all over China. He graduated from the Fine Arts School of Sichuan, then from the Fine Arts School of Bourges. He now lives and works between Paris, Chongqing and Beijing.
