Lu Hui was born in 1977, graduated from Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2003. While growing up, Li Hui growing up witnessed the early-stage transformation of China's reform and opening up, when the society was suffused with the atmosphere of anxiety, while the public moral value being challenged by the big changes. In this background, his works are enriched with shared feelings and reflections of that special era, as well as express the artist's pursuit of the "eternal" spiritual world. As the artist said himself, "looking back at my days as a student, I think we were trained with western art skills, however, if you look into the content and the inspiration of our works, however, the Chinese cultures were never divorced from us, in terms of the content and the inspiration of our works. What I want to express in my art works is this kind of phenomenon; as I believe this is very typical in China now days."

Li Hui's artistic creation is a fusion of emotional rendering and rational processing, through medium materials of modern industrial technologies; he explores discussions of reincarnation, redemption and nirvana among other states of life and mind. He has a way with communicating his observation and understanding of the human society through solid sculptures and installations with common medium materials such as laser, acrylics and LED lights.

The piece "Ark No. 2" is made of acrylic and stainless steel, the simple and austere form delivers an awakening message of Noan's Arc No. 2 in the Bible. LED lights are piercing through the transmitting acrylic body, which emphasizes the texture of depth perception, meanwhile, creates a cold and calm blue tone in the appearance, diffusing a religious mysterious atmosphere, draws audiences to an environment of complexity, somewhere between reality and fantasy.
