Born in Guangzhou, Lampo Leong studied at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts and the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Leong says, “One of the most pervasive and enduring motifs for artistic creativity must surely be the desire to express a sense of awe and majesty evoked by the overwhelming power of nature.” His painting features geometric structures painted in traditional Chinese ink brushstrokes, creating a sublime and mysterious composition. Leong’s composition expresses a dynamic life force that emanates from the centre of the painting, like the energy radiating from a planet in the universe. Through the piling and intersection of dots and lines Liang instils a strong sense of movement and three-dimensionality to his paintings.
