Lu and Hennie Schaper opened Galerie LuS in 2012 in the main shopping
street (Oudestraat) of the beautiful Hanseatic medieval city of Kampen.
In 2015 the gallery was moved to a new, much larger location, even
closer to the centre. The new gallery includes an
exhibition space, as well as a studio in which Lu can create her works.
The main purpose of Galerie LuS is to show a frequently changing
selection of the art of Lu Schaper.
The name of the gallery (LuS) is derived from the name of Lu S(chaper),
but it also refers to her pen name (Haishang Lus), under which she has
become famous in Shanghai for her columns in local newspapers and
magazines. Lus in mandarin means stork or heron.
The gallery's sign (shown above) was designed by Lu Schaper, based on
two of her paintings. The Chinese text refers to her Father's art
gallery in Shanghai in the eighties.
We do not sell/ship art works via internet.
