Words by Chris Iseli, Photography by Xiaoming Liu
"But while music is clearly a dominant voice in Lu’s work at the moment, and has been at least an undercurrent throughout her life and career, the other harmonic elements underpinning and interacting with it are as rich, varied, and complex as her palette.
Presently, most days, Lu can be found in her bright, exquisitely well-organized Woodberry studio, immersed in the music in her headphones and in the patient, methodical work of painting another composition. Her monumental series in progress, One Hundred Melodies of Solitude, has now expanded well past its title to comprise more than 260 individual pieces."
