  • Lü Shengzhong (Chinese: 吕胜中; born 1952) is a Chinese artist who specializes in the ancient Chinese art of paper cutting. He came of age during the turbulent Cultural Revolution. When China started to open up following the death of Chairman Mao in 1976, Lu Shengzhong turned to traditional Chinese folk arts, unlike his contemporaries who embraced contemporary art forms practiced in the West, such as installation art, oil paintings and performance art. "I walked away from the cultural confusion of the time and turned back to traditional folk art," he says. His hand cut red tissue-paper art works, with their bold, centered, mandala-like designs, resemble antique paper cuts, combined with calligraphic elements with streams of hand-drawn elements skimming over the musings of sages.
