[Above Image]  Global Dialectic Positive Life Series 2008 - 09: Self-Portraits @ M. Art + M. Design + M. Architecture + Red Guard + Red Little Guard + Little Master + A Sense Of Life Journey ( The Originality of Karl W. Lu Graphic Designed Painting )
   Since Karl W. Lu stepped up onto the global artworld stage from Australia to China and USA in 2012 - 2013, over only past five years, Lu's unique global life as a real contemporary artist of genuine thinker, creator, and entrepreneur has been discovered and published rapidly by more and more galleries, museums, art fairs, and publishers around the world. In fact, Karl Lu manifestoed his Contemporary Art Positivism in 2008, soon after he well completed three Master's degrees in Art, Design and Architecture ( design & computing ) at University of New South Wales, Australia. As part of his Manifesto of Contemporary Art Positivism, Karl Lu has originated his on-going Global Dialectic Positive Life Series since 2008-09 [ As Shown Above] to positively [in terms of historical & philosophical positivism] and auto-biographically recall and record his real global life journey of our time which may also dialecticly reflect or imply the global life journey of all thoses who may share parts or similar life experience with Lu's. In order to positively address Karl Lu himself not only a true Master of Art, but also a Master of Design with distinction in graphic design as well, he intentionally paint the Global Dialectic Positive Life Series as a series of Digital Graphic Design Style which are absolutely painted with acrylic & oil as real painting, but painted like digitally designed graphic posters or book covers , or, painted with certain graphic design thinking and effects !!!   As a result, Lu has also created another innovative type painting, namely, Karl W. Lu Graphic Designed Painting, or, Painted Graphic Design.

International Contemporary Masters Vol. XI, 2016 published by World Wide Art Books, CA. USA
Trained in both Eastern and Western traditions, Lu often combines the two to create unique hybrid styles of mixed media of acrylic and oil with both oil and Chinese ink brush techniques. "The Memory Series” evokes both real and imaginary      landscapes where 1980's students pondered philosophy, literature, art and science. Lu first created his original "Dripping  Flow” technique in his “Memory Series" in 2003 and fully embraces the distinctive abstract style in his ongoing "The Dripping Fluid Series”. His most recent, "The Origin Series" employs Chinese ink brush skills in an homage to science, bio-forms, life, time space, and universe, which have created Lu's unique and distictive style of abstract beauty.                                                                                                                                                                 ----------   Curated by Despina Tunberg

"Die Kunstwerke von Karl Weiming Lu mit unklaren Linien und Formen verbinden den Osten und Westen. Mit der chinesischen Technik zeigt er die Wärme und Offenheit als auch moderne Ansichten des Westen. Mit der philosophischen  Andeutung lässt erklare Linien in unklaren verschwommenen Formen verschwinden, genau wie die Zeit und die Menschen in dem Universum verschwinden. Seine Kunstwerke in einer minimalistischen Ausarbeitung verbinden wissenschaftliche und philosophische Analysen und Gedanken. Einfach und genial sprechen die Kunstwerke mit dem Betrachter". "The artworks by Karl Weiming Lu with unclear lines and shapes connect the east and west. With the Chinese Technique he shows the warmth and openness as well as modern views of the west. With the philosophical allusion he makes
clear lines disappear in unclear blurred shapes, exactly as the time and the people disappear in the universe. His artworks in a minimalist elaboration combine scientific and philosophical analyzes and thoughts. Simple and ingenious the artwork speak with the viewer". --------------- Heinz Playner, Curator of PAKS Gallery

Cambiamento, astrazione, rivalutazione delle forme e interpretazione della realta, sono solo alcuni degli step che portano il maestro   Weiming alla creazione delle sue opere. L’evanescenza delle campiture cromatiche contribuisce a rendere I suoi dipinti evocativi,  emblematici di un’interiorita sospesa tra anima e cuore, e che il maestro mette a disposizione dell’astante attraverso L’interpretazione delle sue opere. Un artista di grande modernita che getta le basi per una nuova cultura dell’arte.  ( Change, abstraction, revaluation of the forms, and interpretation of reality are just some of the steps that Master Weiming Lu brings to the creation of his works. The evanescence of the chromatic patterns contributes to making its evocative paintings, emblematic of an interior suspended between soul and heart, and which the master puts at his disposal through the interpretation of his works. An artist of great modernity laying the foundations for a new art. )
