Acquired were various works of Meng Ludings along with many Lucy Lius works of art. Lucy attended the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing, China in 1986; Meng attended the (CAFA) in 1987 and also became a Professor there. They undoubtedly had affiliations through the academy and knew the same people. I'm sure they must have known each other in Beijing and most likely Lucy's influence brought Meng to Seattle, WA where he and his wife lived. While in Seattle, Meng was a participant in the symposium on new media in Chinese art, sponsored by The Seattle Arts Museums Asian Art Council. Lucy Liu was a member of the Asian Arts Council and Lucy founded the Northwest Chinese Art Society in 1984 in order to promote Asian art in the United States. Meng and Lucy attended the same Academy, exhibited their artworks at the same Galleries and were members of the same groups. Lucy Liu acquired this painting Meng Luding at some point during their affiliation. ***************************** Meng Luding was one of the most important representative painters of the 1980s. His work "A New Age - The Revelation of Adam and Eve " was recorded in the history of the opening of the 85th Art Movement .

Aug 31, 2016 - Nov 30, 2016 Yuan Art Museum (Beijing, China)Artist(s)Feng Lianghong, Li Di, Ma Shuqing, Ma Kelu, Meng Luding, Qin Yufen, Tan Ping, Yuan Zuo, Zhu Jinshi EXHIBITION SYNOPSISAbout Early Works... The promotion and development of art throughout history,whether intended or unintended, active or passive, can undoubtedly be attributed to fortuitous collaborations between individual artists. Although in contemporary times the roles of art museums, galleries, critics, and collectors have been increasingly magnified, the artists? practices and the lives they lead continue to be the driving force behind art.Since its formation at the end of the 1970's, Chinese abstract art has at various points adopted distinctive, characteristic styles as a result of loose connections between art groups or individuals. Even during the toughest times when this genre of art was marginalized in China, the exchanges and meetings between these artists fostered a revitalizing energy that would be key to its future rise.Yuan Art Museum, a Chinese art institution with a history of almost 10 years, keeps in close contact with a number of artists in Beijing. Through observation and collaborations, we have seen a complex phenomenon of de-stylization materialize after all the twists and turns and artistic departures and returns in this sector over the past 30 years.Under the theme of "Early Works?", the exhibition at Yuan Art Museum brings together masterpieces by nine artists created during the 1980s and 1990s in an attempt to build up a knowledge base for art criticism by carefully researching these early artworks. The biographies of the nine artists, explorations of the nine sets of masterpieces that correlate profoundly with the artists? career developments and current practices, as well as behind-the-scenes background stories will be arranged and compiled into nine valuable case studies for future reference.
