You'll like W. Lu if: you're intense, but you're great at communicating so it kinda works out.

"Abstract Expressionism was one of the movements that drew me the most–there is an emotional immediacy to it that felt to me, at the time, like it could move beyond the borders of racial and cultural identity. It wasn’t until much later that I realized how much of my attraction to it is fundamentally informed by my early exposures to Chinese art. There’s a sort of yearning, a searching for the familiar in the gestural, the brush-based mark-making." - from W. Lu's interview with Mud Season Review (2020)
