Ink Paintings by Lyu Sheng Chen

Ink walks together with water, integrating or resisting each other all the way. And the traces they left, depict a universe of art.

EMPTY

The title Empty derives from the Five Great Elements in Indian philosophy—Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Emptiness. Unlike his past works on the Chinese diaspora, Empty stands out with its strikingly abstract style, sharply diverging from Lau’s established realist approach.

Reimagining Tales

The title Reimagining Tales is “borrowed” from Lu Xun, who used it to collect eight short stories that reworked traditional myths. Since then, this otherwise ordinary phrase has come to suggest a peculiar tension.
