Galerie LeRoyer is pleased to present The View from Here, Lu Luo’s first solo exhibition in Canada.
In this body of work, Lu Luo continues her exploration of her roots, paying homage to the Chinese kimonos and theatre garments that surrounded her while growing up alongside her parents’ work in Chinese opera. Using rice paper as her chosen medium, she transforms her canvases into vivid, textile-inspired tapestries of colours and textures.
Luo’s practice showcases her dedication to elevating everyday materials, paralleling her focus on the representation of textiles, which have historically been positioned outside the realm of fine art. This dialogue is informed by the legacy of the Western art historical canon, particularly the turn to embrace non-traditional materials that emerged in the latter half of the twentieth century. Through her abstracted rice paper compositions, inspired by the intricate patterns of traditional Chinese garments, Lu Luo actively challenges conventional distinctions surrounding the definition of “fine art.”
