Chinese artist and illustrator Lushuirou found an authentic way to express subtle emotions and interactions between people through hand gestures. Because hands are always key and unnoticed part of the communication. In some cultures, hand gestures are important as words we say. We can approve, deny, question or make inside-jokes with simple hand gestures.
Lushuirou choses to express herself and her emotions with images rather than simple words and language tells to It’s Nice That. And over time she started to observe and discover small emotions conveyed through hands. The artists states that she’s fascinated by hands shape, form and its diversity and subconscious communication methods.
Lushuirou lives and creates in Hunan Province, China and she recently become acquainted with illustration while she was getting her visual communication design degree. She is experimenting with different textures, grains and uneven surfaces while both using physical tools and her iPad with Procreate.
Subtle emotions are key part of her work. Such as love, friendship, loneliness, fear, dependency, connection, unity, toxicity and many other situations easily observed in her work. And even simple feelings can conveyed through just two hands and interaction between them is so strong. Personally, her work is a journey through emotions and gateway to discovery of how similar emotions expressed in different ways.
