Luo Min

Birds and flowers No.1, 2017, Oil on Canvas, 80 x 200cm

Luo Min Graduated from the China Southwest Normal University, and received MA from the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Art. Luo Min is a first-class national artist, a committee member of the China Oil Painting Society, and a professional painter at the Beijing Fine Art Academy. She has held exhibitions across Asia and Europe. She currently works in Beijing.

Luo Min’ s work is a synthesis of reality, memory and symbolism. Well-versed in Western realism painting and traditional Chinese gongbi and mogu techniques, this gives Luo Min great versatility in her artistic expression. The artist adopts a traditional yet creative painting language and retains the traces of time through elegant inscriptions. Family albums and childhood memories provide the subjects for her works.

On the basis of this, she uses flowers and birds as her ideal motifs to create an artistic language that is compatible with the East and the West. They allude to a sense of sincerity and emotionalism that is captured more because of how she sees than of her gifted skills. On a thematic level, her emotionally charged paintings gain energy from the frictional contrast they stand in relation to the contemporary art scene and the crumbling world we live in.
