Taipei based artist Lu-Tong Lu has been producing art since childhood, counting photography, painting, and drawing as a life-long endeavor. Having worked in commercial photography, book illustration, and murals since 1997, his methods for drawing/painting were developed as a secret for over 10 years in between two continents with the input of the manufacturers of the brands used. All of these mediums influence each other and carry over into his current studio work. Realizing a need to separate illustration and contemporary art, he believes that the background in one area only gives experience in another. He accumulates his contemporary art pieces like a diary, slowly adding pieces for the three projects currently listed, always open to additions in the same criteria. While his illustrations tend to be perceived through academic origins, his contemporary art weaves a thread through the vast experience of a multi-faceted approach to modern art production.
