Lu Chao: Black Silence

The gallery will host the first UK solo show by the Chinese artist Lu Chao. His works have been extensively presented and the title signifies an important development in his practice, both from a narrative and a formal point of view.

His previous works on the passiveness of normal human beings, huddled together in tightly packed groups, when confronted with terrestrial power.

Lu Chao defines himself as a ‘painter’ and while renewing the traditions of his country he is also ensuring that the medium he has chosen to work in as an artist is no longer regarded as a near extinct byway in the ever greater plethora of art disciplines in our contemporary world.
