ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
Robert "Sheko" Lui was born on March 23, 1951 in Saigon, Vietnam, and educated at LaSalle D'adran with a major in Fine Art. At the age of seventeen, he was accepted to the Ecole des Beaux de Delat where he further developed his painting technique. 
In 1970 his first exhibition was with a group of fellow students which toured the major cities of Vietnam including Saigon, Hue, Nhatran and finished at the exhibition hall of the Ecole des Beaux Arts. In 1971, at the age of 20, Lui had his first one-man show at the Bank of Bangkok and another one at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.   Later that year he returned to France to study art at the Ecole nationale des beaux arts de Lyon.   
Robert Lui was the featured artist in a one-man show at the Chinese Cultural Center of Saigon.  Following his success at the show, Robert Lui was invited to accept a 3-year post as a teacher of art at Tak Ming School. 
In 1975, he joined the Country’s Art Club, where he first began his landscape drawings. His medium was Chinese ink and watercolor on rice paper and his pieces were exhibited annually at the Civic Center.  His work was exhibited at the Hong Kong Civic Center.  Following this achievement, Robert Lui was the Principal Art Teacher at the Windsor School of Art in Hong Kong where he taught commercial design until 1981. 
Robert Lui and his family immigrated to the United States in 1982. Since then, Robert Lui has participated in numerous art exhibits and has won many recognized awards at the Washington Square Outdoor Spring Exhibit, Village Green Art Festival, the Washington Square Outdoor Fall Exhibit,  the Sayville LI Art Show, Plainfield, NJ Art Show, Dunnellen,  NJ Art Show, and most notably won second place at the most prestigious art show in the Northeast,  the Mystic Connecticut Art Show. 
In the mid 1980s Robert Lui worked at developing his skills in wide and diverse techniques from Impressionism to Abstract.  In his Impressionist painting, he uses light and color to visually describe the natural world.  His understanding of basic elements of Impressionism has enabled Robert Lui to articulate the painting genres of landscapes, seascapes and figures.  In his abstracts there is a remarkably rich palette of paint that blends compositions and individual elements into an overall coherence of design and color.
In more recent years, Robert Lui has focused primarily on his impressionistic style.   In his later years he became greatly influenced by artists such as Thomas Kinkaid and Guido Borelli.
