“All of my works talk about love. Art is a special gift I can give to someone I love. It might be a gown, a tree, or an action in vain. If I cannot help you change the fact, may I build a paradise in your mind?” explains Lunyu Fu. The Beijing-born, London-based practitioner draws on her environmental design background to paint, plant, photograph, print and record fading moments of beauty. Before You Call It a Tree is dedicated to non-human artists. The pattern, created by a male bichon frise named Mantoto, is edited and remade by Fu with Photoshop, seals and ink. These works celebrate collaboration and the experimental process of printing.
