Desolate Romance: Art of Lin Hong-wen

2018.03.17 - 2018.06.18 KMFA Galleries 301~304


Lin Hong-wen is always known for his abstract paintings. His paintings are bright, pure and rich in poetic abstractionism, fluidity and unlimited possibilities. In recent years, he focuses more on environmental issues and environmental installations in his artistic creation. No matter what art form he works in, he has established his personal styles. The form of artistic creation is only a communication interface between an artist and the outside world. Lin’s rhetoric of abstractionism is always present, latent but powerful, in all types of his works. Such rhetoric is the result of his spiritual accumulation and refinement. This exhibition is a collection of approximately 120 works by Lin in a diverse range of categories such as painting, sculpture and installation. It is the first comprehensive presentation of Lin’s works over the past 30-odd years since his debut in Taiwan’s art world with his participation in The New Prospect of Modern Paintings in the Republic of China exhibition held by the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in 1984.
