“Dunno” Show

Worldwide

Hello world, long time no see! For the last 4 years I’ve been working as the in-house Creative and Art Director for some of the biggest projects in fintech. Many changes in the last decade have shifted the way we interact with social media which left me eventually, with no other option other than to focus on work rather than promoting it, to resume the website absence. I want to take my time and give these projects the presentations they deserve. While I’ve tried separating my two completely different passions: painting and corporate design, it has been a never-ending and often consuming process and I’m not sure you can do both once the work you do reaches a certain threshold of depth in some way.

I’ve picked back up on my art rather slower but very intense in the last couple of years and I’m finally doing a show with some of my favorite works on the 4th of September in Echo Studios, the actual place where the work has been produced, repurposed for the show. Exciting really. I’ll have a bunch of my friends playing during the Opening and Closing and they happen to be some super cool creative katz: Bleu Hagra, Ellis Fererre, Your Friend is Daao, Don, Tim Kulev, Schwala, Erwan, Niina, Guenn which gives this show a recipe for an event to remember rather than a commercial success. Fingers crossed for both though 🙂

“Meridianne”

Lisbon

Meridianne is a journey filled with synths, detuned voice morphs of 90s jungle on syncopated kicks straight from the gully. I’ve played a live session using 2 x Pioneer 800 CDjs as sampler instruments for effects. Below is a video of Meridianne LIVE x Mark Ijzerman during Temp Studio artist-in-residency May 2018.

Lucian Lupu is an artist, designer, and creative director, born in 1989 in Hîrlău, Iasi (Romania). He received a Master’s degree in Editorial Illustration, after graduating from Illustration at UAGE in Iași in 2012. By 2013, Lucian had already begun his design practice, based on a curriculum formed from notions of Art Nouveau and Minimalism, which taught him how to mix art, craft, and design. These theories merge with contemporary culture to form Lucian’s multidisciplinary approach today.
