Unveiled in his current solo exhibition "Into the Matrix," Lu Xinjian's newly developed installation artworks are composed of layered acrylic sheets that are engraved and prismatically illuminated. In contrast to the compression of space in his paintings, Lu crafts an expansion of dimension in the installation artworks. Within each work, the artist deconstructs the composition into lines, dots, and shapes and strategically overlays them to mimic the cross-sections of a three-dimensional space. Creating the illusion of infinite depth, the works not only allude to the growing heights of civilization, but the stretching depth of virtual places. The use of dissection and reconstitution within the works illumines the digital means in which the contemporary social landscape is formed as well as perceived.
