Oil Cityscapes by Duby Wu Lei

Hong Kong-based artist Duby Wu Lei and owner of the independent online art gallery FolkcultureGallery has been responsible for exhibiting his artwork in North America, Europe, and Australia since 2007.

As a fine art major in university, Wu Lei was able to finally support himself and endorse his expensive talent through his work. Deeply influenced by his favorite painter Claude Monet since youth, Wu Lei loves to imitate the impressionist movement. He works with a thick brush stroke texture.

In his collection of cityscape portrait, the artist beautifully captures the famous landmarks of Hong Kong, London, New York and Paris among other cities. Conveying a contemporary approach, Wu Lei often uses the spectrum of the color black, ranging from white to the darkest shades of gray. He uses bold accent colors, particularly red to romanticize a figure, such a couple or the presence of nature. The Eiffel Tower of presents itself as Wu Lei’s biggest muse. It is one of the Old World’s most significant symbols, as well as the most romantic; since the Impressionist movement was prominent among French painters. You can find more of Wu Lei’s work in his Etsy shop.
