陆新建,2000年于南京美术学院数码图形设计毕业。在2004至05年期间,陆新建在读于荷兰爱因霍芬设计学院研究生学院。 2006年,他从荷兰的Frank Mohr Institute的互动媒体与环境专业毕业并取得硕士学位。
受到他自身平面设计的背景和他之前设计工作的影响,艺术家陆新建把他对线条、形状与色彩中独到的见解带到了他的艺术创作之中。当他将其的创作重心转入纯艺术领域时,自然而然地这些元素依旧在他的艺术作品中占据了重要的位置。
陆新建的作品完美结合了简单与繁复,抽象与观念这些元素与概念。在每一幅画作中,观者可以在一瞥中抓住某个特定城市的视觉特征,然而画面内容本身又是如此之复杂,因为任何一个城市的布局与景观都包罗了这个城市历史、经济以及政治、文化自古至今所涵盖的全部内容。在视觉上,作品抽象的表现形式似乎近于由线、形、色随机所构成,然而在作品背后的观念上则是丰富、明确而坚实的。
In 2000, he graduated from Graphic Design department of Nanjing Arts Institute. From year 2004 to 2005, he studied at IM Postgraduate Department of Design Academy Eihndhoven. Later, he earned his MFA in Interactive Media and Environment Department of Frank Mohr Institute in Netherlands in 2006. Lu now lives and works in Shanghai.
Coming from a design background and influenced by his own design practice, artist Lu Xinjian brings his particular understanding of the relationships among lines, shapes and colors into his artistic practice. It’s only natural when he shifted his practice into the artistic realm, that these elements remain the most prominent in his artistic works.
Lu’s works seaminglessly combine simplicity and complexity, abstraction and concept. From each painting, the viewers can grasp the visual characteristics of a certain city at a glance, yet the content itself is so complex since the cityscape embodies the historical, economic and political history of that particular city to this day. Visually, the abstract presentation may seem randomly composed by lines, shapes and colors, yet the concept behind the works is rich and concrete.
