Lu first visited the US in 1995 and held his first exhibition in 1999. He also exhibited his paintings at the Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco. Currently, he lives in Danville, California with his wife and son. Lu describes his art with the word “Symmetrism” to fully express all his feelings to the world. The very essence of his Symmetrism art is balance and equilibrium. A steady horizontal line and a vertical straight line connecting heaven and earth denote stability, universality, and mental spirituality. All his creative spirit comes from the source of a central line of symmetry, which inspires his creativity to expand and bear everything he is in pursuit of. cis.stanford.edu/~marigros/show82.html#artist3
