2024 - 2024 JINGART

Lin & Lin Gallery is pleased to participate in 2024 JINGART, presenting the latest artworks by artist Liu Shih-Tung, showing the artist's thoughts on the relationship between Eastern and Western cultures. Chinese artists have explored the traditional Orient aesthetics in their choice of artistic expressions and their concern with traditional cultural themes, influenced by contemporary Western thinking, resulting in a change and renewal of Chinese art aesthetics.

Liu Shih-Tung (1970- ) was born in Miaoli, Taiwan and currently lives and works in Taipei. Liu’s works are based on natural and unnatural fragments of culture material collected from daily life. He dismantles and reconstructs the narrative structure of history and memory by using delicate collage and his aesthetic of creation. Liu has taken the images of Chinese antiquity and given them contemporary symbols by applying layers and layers of collage to these objects. At the same time, not only is the painting overflowing with the literati tradition of placing feelings on objects, but a subject-background relationship that belongs to traditional figurative painting also emerges.
