Born in Changchun, China under Maoist-dictator rule, Hung Lui’s art captures the tumult, displacement, and emotion of epic revolution. She is one of the first Chinese-born painters to accomplish national recognition as a contemporary American artist. Often referencing historical Chinese photographs in her paintings, Lui creates and transforms these images into contemporary paintings that suggest the passage of time and memories reimagined. Termed “weeping realism,” Lui’s style summons history to the present. “I hope to wash my subjects of their ‘otherness’ and reveal them as dignified, even mythic figures on the grander scale of history painting.”
