The Luo Brothers from Nanning, Guangxi Province, are Luo Weidong born in 1963, Luo Weiguo born in 1964 and Luo Weibing born in 1972. They graduated respectively at the Guangxi Academy of Art, the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Art and the Central Academy of Applied Arts, and since 1986 they have been living in Beijing, where they all work together.

The Luo Brothers’ most celebrated series, The World’s Most Famous Brands, consists of sculptures in lacquered resin and paintings in lacquer. The work captures the dizzily evolving China that left behind the strictly - controlled Cultural Revolution and transformed into a booming market-driven economy with a vibrant urbanization. Their sculptures and paintings depict plump, smiling babies embracing Chinese symbols of prosperity, such as big fish, or symbols of Western popular culture such as Coca Cola. The work takes the traditional Chinese medium of lacquer and saturates it with bright colors and excess to illustrate the clashing sensibilities of modern China. The Luo Brothers portray the joys of freedom and the promise of prosperity while exposing the unrestrained gluttony generated by a frenzied economy, and the superficiality of replacing spirituality with materialism.
