The Positive Global Life of Dialectic Self-portraits
Series 2008 – 20XX
Karl W. Lu manifested his Contemporary Art Positivism in
2008, soon after he well completed three Master's degrees
in Art, Design, and Architecture (design & computing) at
University of New South Wales, Australia. As part of his
Manifesto of Contemporary Art Positivism, Karl Lu has
originated his ongoing “The Positive Global Life of Dialectic
Self-portraits Series 2008 – 20XX” since 2008 to positively
[in terms of historical & philosophical positivism] and auto-
biographically recall and record his global life journey of our
time which may also dialectically reflect or imply the global

life journey of all those who may share parts or similar life
experience with Lu's. Also, to positively address Karl Lu
himself is not only a true Master of Art, but also a Master
of Design with distinction in graphic design, he intentionally
painted “The Positive Dialectic Global Life Series” as a series of
Digital Graphic Design Style which are absolutely painted with
acrylic & oil as real painting, but painted like digitally designed
graphic posters, book or magazine covers, or, painted with
certain graphic design thinking and effects! As a result, since
ARTIST 2008, Lu had also created another innovative type painting,

namely, Karl W. Lu Graphic Designed Painting, or, Karl W. Lu
Painted Graphic Design.
