• Exhibited artist: Lin Hung-Hsin

Lin Hung-Hsin’s solo exhibition, “A Place to Turn Around", will be hold at Liang Gallery. Lin applies his unique narrative style to paint “flâneur”, a character in Walter Benjamin’s works. The flâneur is like an anonymous inspector who disguises oneself in the crowd, looking for inspiration. As an observer in an alienated position, the flâneur seems to care about nothing but peek into the city with one’s great vision.

Born in Yunlin, Taiwan in 1975, Lin Hung-Hsin received his MFA from the National Taiwan University of Arts. Before being devoted to artistic practice as a full-time artist, Lin had been working as an advertising designer for almost 15 years. His paintings feature a realistic expression, but are different from the objective representation of the American photorealism. Instead, he adopts a strong subjective perspective while combining two-dimensional vector symbols and images of visual spaces with his personal experiences and illusions. Currently, he works and lives in Taipei.
