Love Letter No. 22 As embracing as between heaven and earth 上天下地也 Acclaimed for raising a gun and shooting at her work in the National Art Museum of China in February 1989 and immediately closing down the China Avant-Garde exhibition, Xiao Lu is today considered as China’s most influential and provocative female artist. Love Letters series is inspired by the artist’s bitter experience of taking herbal medicine to keep her healthy during pregnancy. She composes with charcoal and Chinese herbal medicines to write about her inner thoughts and most genuine sentiments. Each enclosed letter takes the form of a secret. The piece acts as a catharsis for self-healing through the abstract expressions of a narrative.
