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.
