Luo Shipeng was born in 1992 in Meizhou, Guangdong Province, China, Luo Shipeng currently lives and works in Chengdu. He received his BFA in 2015 and MFA in 2018 from the Oil Painting Department of the Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts, Sichuan Conservatory of Music, where he studied under the renowned artist He Duoling. He is a member of the Sichuan Oil Painting Society, a member of the Post-90s Art Collective, and a specially appointed artist of the Wu Guanzhong Art Museum.

Luo Shipeng’s practice centers on flowers and botanical forms, yet it does not aim at objective representation of nature. By deliberately blurring botanical specificity and dissolving recognizable characteristics, he creates images that feel familiar yet resist precise identification. Within this de-referential visual structure, flowers cease to function as objects of observation and instead become carriers of emotion, memory, and psychological experience.

In terms of pictorial language, Luo favors delicate, subtly nostalgic tones and lighting. His paintings often evoke the hazy texture of aged photographic film, generating a poetic atmosphere that is restrained, introspective, and quietly detached. For the artist, “painting flowers is also a way of painting people.” Creation becomes an ongoing inner dialogue—one that moves through struggle, revision, and reconciliation, ultimately arriving at a state of balance and calm.

From the darker palettes and tense compositions of his early period, through a brighter and more open middle phase shaped by changes in personal circumstances, to his recent reflections on the relationship between individual experience and society, Luo’s work reveals a clear yet inwardly driven evolution. Rather than pursuing explicit narratives, his paintings focus on how emotions are slowly formed, accumulated, and perceived within the image by the viewer.
