2019

About the Item

Abstract artist Andrew Lui’s ethereal work is rooted in history; that of his own in China and the world around him. Lui’s fluid lines and vivid colours were influenced by his love of the French impressionist, Matisse and early Western abstract artists such as Kandinsky. ‘Anthem’ is one of several paintings in a new series where he continues to use the natural elegant movement of horses and their riders to interpret the human journey. Lui uses traditional Chinese materials—fragile rice paper and the fine black ink of calligraphers to add depth and detail to his work. “I think my paintings are romantic, and very poetic but not a love letter….” Andrew Lui Born in Guangzhou, China Lui participated in the Chinese cultural revolution as a member of the Red Guard but escaped to Hong Kong in 1970. Making his way to Toronto, Lui studied at the Ontario College of Art before traveling to the UK and Italy. In Florence he was drawn to the dynamic Uccello's Battle of San Romano (c. 1456). Lui moved from China to Canada in 1972 and now lives in Montreal. He studied art in Italy, the UK and Canada from 1972 to 1975. His work is in private and corporate collections in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. Framed dimensions are 71.75 x 39.5 inches.

  • Traveller
    By Eddy Lee
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Eddy Lee’s figurative surrealist portrait paintings on exposed wood depict emotive sirens who evoke a sense of mystery and seductiveness. His original artworks combine geometric elements with innocent women portraits seeking to trigger emotions, rather than communicating specific explanations. He reconciles the unconscious with rational life, exploring the power of dreams, embracing automatism, and freeing his subjects from the constraints of conscious thought. This colorful, intriguing woman portrait is painted with acrylic and gouache on a hand-built cradled wood panel. This one-of-a-kind original artwork measures 24 inches high by 24 inches wide. It is signed by the artist on the front and back. It is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this unique work. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Eddy Lee relocated to Los Angeles in late 2012 to pursue a full-time career as a fine artist. He started his career on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and quickly gained a large following across the United States with exhibitions in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. The artist’s work is inspired by the works of Audrey Kawasaki...
