Kai Lun Qu is known for his Alla Prima (wet-on-wet) oil paintings filled with expression and painterly strokes that evoke deep emotions

In 2022, after getting inspired by artists at comic and anime conventions, he made the decision to infuse his traditional oil painting techniques and his love for pop culture media to build a bridge and interconnect "Fine Art" and "Fan Art".

Kai has worked for many extensive clients since then including Square Enix and Marvel, he is currently contributing his paintings for the award winning game Marvel SNAP. He wishes to demystify oil painting and make it more accessible to the general masses in the fan art community while at the same time, open up dialogue on how any subject matter, even fan art can be worth painting to the fine art community.

Kai is a Pro Team Artist for Trekell Art Supplies, Mentor for Sentient Academy, Member in The Circle of Gamblin Artists + Educators and is on the main faculty for the Vision X Global Art Conference. He is currently based in LA and teaches workshops around numerous schools and ateliers.
