Distinct among the international, contemporary influences to which Lu Song’s art has been subject is a natural grasp of painterly fluidity which has been compared to that of Chinese ink painting. Indeed, though there is little actual correlation in painting technique, these paintings share in common with the Chinese landscape tradition, the act of inviting viewers to wander within their abstract spatial construct; to journey into the painting and thereby into one’s own state of mind. His study of the various approaches to painting taken by artists at work today and through history continue to provide Lu Song with a range of aesthetic notions to explore alongside his own interest in “mood”. Whatever the origins of these sensations, in Lu Song’s work they coalesce in a style that is quite their own.
