Lu Xinjian’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Boogie Woogie, opens at de Sarthe Gallery on this Saturday, May 19, 2018. Here we watch Lu at work in his studio.

From de Sarthe:

de Sarthe is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Lu Xinjian, entitled Boogie Woogie. The exhibition is the artist’s first solo presentation in Hong Kong. New and previously unseen works from his three series of paintings City DNA, City Stream and Reflections, will be showcased. The exhibition opens on 19 May and will continue through 7 July 2018.

The title of the exhibition draws its name from Piet Mondrian’s famous penultimate artwork “Broadway Boogie Woogie” (1942-43). Within the work Mondrian captured the vibrant energy of New York City through his iconic use of simple colors, lines and shapes. It was this panting that inspired Lu Xinjian to create his iconic City DNA series and ultimately City Stream and Reflections.
