Lou Zhenggang, who is able to convey the art gene "meme" to the visible world, has been evaluated as knowledge, intelligence and memory in addition to the talent of calligraphy. The government of China officially designated her an "exceptionally gifted prodigy" one year after her artistic debut at the age of twelve. It was through various activities, Chinese art gene "meme" came to grow on her own artistic medium. We named and translated the "meme" as "MEME". The two letters "a yet-to-be true" and “dream” are deeply filled with a powerful message that people's dreams have almost come true.
One of the largest works ever made, TAIKAN 2018, a masterpiece of ink with a width of 32 m and a length of 2.5 m, is a work that changes the shade and smoothness of ink to bring out the texture, lightness, and spatial view of ink、. It has the power to draw the viewer deep into the mysterious world. We hope you will take this opportunity to fully enjoy the world of Lou Zhenggang.
