Qinlin Lin 林勤霖

Lin, Chin-Lin (1947- Now ). Born in Kwantong and studied art at the age of 13. During his juvenility he was affectionately pampered himself in literature, history, philosophy and music besides technical training. After 20-year of realistic and nonfigurative practice, he finally encountered the ‘Automatism’ and kick out the bondage of pre-composition. Then he enjoyed the unchained freedom afterwards. Sequentially in 1983, his first solo exhibition entitled ‘Discovery Series---white on white’ was held with great success and it laid a cornerstone of his career. In the following two decades, his diligence harvests over 80 exhibitions for him and his art works were collected by museums and business groups worldwide. Speaking of his style, the late German critic, Peter Hornung made this statement in Deutsche Tagespost :’ Lin’s abstract is a fantastic blend of musical sense and religious meditation…..subtle Chinese character is clearly revealed even though it is puzzling.’
