Biography
Lu Bin is the director of the ceramic studio at the Shenzhen Sculpture Academy and has been recognized as one of China’s modern ceramic masters. In China, where the venerable tradition of ceramics is intrinsically tied with culture, contemporary ceramic sculptors are struggling to be recognized as artists. In rejecting cultural references for a purely formal vision, they strive to achieve global acceptance. Lu Bin has found his contemporary expression beyond “modernism” by incorporating objects from Chinese daily life and investing them with a critical role. His recent series “Fossils”, “are his interpretations of a fictional history”, writes Dr. Sun Zhenhua. “Using modern daily living objects and making them into time-warped fossils, he uses them to reflect his views on contemporary issues.”
