Inspiration from my digital ink painting

Water ink painting is a traditional form of art in the history of China. Artist Jun Lu combines this old form of art with the new form of technology - digital cameras and photos - to create a modern touch in this old expression. Taking what's 2D into a 3D space. In his early practice, he was not accepted by either photography community or painting community in China. He persisted and received recognition he deserved.

Lu Jun is a contemporary artist. He finds new ways of recreating the traditional Chinese Ink Painting. He won the Photography Gold medal, the Sculpture Bronze and the Digital art Silver Prize separately on the 7th, 9th and 10th X Biennale di Firenze. He also won as the outstanding photographer of Pingyao International photography. In addition, he was honoured as one of the 100 creative talented artists in Creative Genius: 100 Contemporary Artists. Lu Jun was the one who originally starts the creative work on “Digital Ink”. By capturing the moments that the colours taking changes in the water, he perfectly present different scenarios while colours meet the water. Actually, this can be tracked back to the Chinese traditional wash paintings in old time, but he renovates the story telling style, and develops it as a more abstract and contemporary artistic expression.
