Born in 1982 in Dalian, China, Lu Zhengyuan graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He is now a faculty member at CAFA in Beijing.
"He has always confronted edified creative styles and methods, to experiment artistic practices using various media. His works cover sculpture, painting, installation, video and other art forms. He often pays attention to the everyday reality, to things that are marginal or not easy to define, seeking artistic expression between daily experience and unspeakable perception."
