"Beauty is Medicine". Our Downtown Amherst Office will be displaying work from artist Zhong-hua Lu throughout the month of February.
Zhong-hua Lu was born in 1958 in Shandong Province, China. Starting at age five, Zhong-hua learned traditional brush painting and martial arts from his father and five uncles.
During the Cultural Revolution, traditional arts, philosophies, and customs were maligned as counter-revolutionary, and those who carried this knowledge were banished or killed. Zhong-hua continued to secretly practice until Chairman Mao died in 1976. Zhong-hua lives in rural upstate NY with his wife Ellen Graf. He teaches traditional Chinese Arts, including tai chi and Chinese brush painting, at Mass MOCA, Williams College, The Capital Region Art Center, The Chinese Community Center, Eastover Retreat Center, and his home studio on the Rensselaer Plateau. He has also received a 2018 NYFA Fellowship in Traditional Arts from the New York Foundation for the Arts for his painting, “Chrysanthemum Season".
