After moving from Hong Kong to Australia in the 1960s, Andrew Lo finds his unique way of interpreting the Australian landscapes from a Chinese Taoist perspective, that reflects the oneness of the spirituality of human beings and nature. By adopting a contemporary ecological point of view, Andrew journeys into the Australian rainforests and depicts the actual bush, using traditional Chinese ink and brush. Both the black-and-white and colored landscape series, which effectively capture the light and shade in the forests and watercourses, suggest the constantly changing nature of the universe that are freed from human constraints. Depiction of native Australian fish and birds expresses his genuine love of nature -- the attention to the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems. Also on display are his calligraphic series, of which the formalistic approach visualizes the characters, enables the communication of viewers from different cultural backgrounds.

Andrew Lo was born in 1936 in Hong Kong. He completed his BA at the University of Melbourne in 1968 and MA at the University of New South Wales in 1971, where he has recently retired from being a lecturer for 30 years, teaching environmental economics. His works have been exhibited in Australia, Japan and Singapore.
