Lu, whose real name is Bao Yi, male, born in 1942, was originally from Shanghai, and later settled in Yangzhou. Mr. Lu was born in a scholarly family and received a comprehensive and good education from an early age. He studied under famous teachers, poetry, calligraphy and painting, as well as Chinese and Western. Middle-aged Zhuang traveled to famous mountains and rivers, read thousands of books and took Wan Li Road, which laid a solid foundation for later artistic creation.
In the early 1990s, with the strength of a first-class painter, Mr. Lu went to Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China, and devoted himself to the research and development of fine ceramic art. For more than ten years, Mr. Lu was particularly fascinated by the art of blue-and-white porcelain. Because of his exquisite painting skills, profound knowledge and exquisite taste, he not only learned from the previous porcelain-making methods, but also reused modern techniques, so he could sweep away the craftsman spirit, surpass the predecessors, lead the contemporary, climb the top of blue-and-white porcelain alone and eventually become everyone.
Mr. Lu painted with porcelain and made art with utensils. His blue and white porcelain works have unique expressive force that western oil painting and China Chinese painting can't achieve. His works have been exhibited in Beijing, Shanghai, Fuzhou, Hong Kong, Tokyo and London. Among them, the blue-and-white porcelain bottle was awarded the gold medal in the first National Ceramic Art Expo, and was praised as "the king of blue-and-white in contemporary China". Mr. Lu is currently a member of Jiangsu Artists Association, a first-class member (professor level) of China Painting and Calligraphy Research Association, a distinguished researcher of Nanjing Museum, and the president of Nanchang Art Ceramics Research Association.
