No surprise that Saatchi Online picked Erqi Luo as an artist to watch.  The Shanghai-based artist has a special way with collage.  These works are from a series called Shape of Picture, assembled using paper cuts and remnants in a painterly way. Luo transforms discarded scraps of color and form into exquisitely made abstract collages.  (Click on images to see originals)

A “less important part” is left out of all Luo’s Shape works, his indicator you should focus on what’s missing.

Erqi Luo is a lecturer in print-making at Shanghai University Fine Arts College.  He is a graduate of  Ecole de Beaux-Arts de Besaancon in France and of  Shanghai University.
