Mingjun Luo

Lui Mingiun’s ethereal oil paintings are the artist’s nostalgic attempts to remember her childhood. Born in the Sichuan province of China, Luo moved to Switzerland upon her marriage in 1987 and became homesick. The artist’s paintings are based on snapshots she took of familiar friends and landscapes in China, yet identifying features of the figures are obscured and left vague. The images appear bleached out as if faded from memory, relics of a distant past. Lou Mingiun has held solo exhibitions at Foundation Louis Moret in Switzerland, Davel 14 in Switzerland, Beijing Fine Arts in China, LDX in China, and others.
