Lu Renjie (b.1982, Shanghai) is a Chinese multi-disciplinary artist recognized for blending cultural and traditional heritage with contemporary experimentation across ceramics, sculpture, painting, technology, and immersive installations. Mentored by Chen Zhaochi—father of renowned artist Chen Danqing—he developed a practice that unites mythology, ecological reflection, and cutting-edge innovation. Among his signature works are “Feiyi China,” a monumental painting highlighting 1,800 forms of intangible cultural heritage, and “Twelve Beauties,” collected by Jackie Chan and other luminaries.

Lu’s “ShanHai-Verse,” inspired by The Classic of Mountains and Seas, reimagines timeless myths through dynamic multimedia storytelling. Within this universe, “ShanHai World” merges cultural narratives with futuristic aesthetics, intertwining visual art, soundscapes, and interactive elements. By interweaving traditional motifs with advanced methods, Lu explores how cultural legacies can endure and evolve amid rapid transformation.

Exhibited from Shanghai to international stages, he has established himself as a pioneering voice in cross-genre art. This year, Lu will showcase new multimedia works from his “ShanHai-Verse” series at the “Fractured Horizons” exhibition, underscoring his commitment to revitalizing heritage through innovative creative forms.
