Alisan Fine Arts is excited to start the fall season with a solo exhibition featuring the novel works of Lin Guocheng. This exhibition will showcase two distinct series from the artist––the “Landscape” series and the “Civilisation” series, each delving deep into the intricate relationship between nature and human civilization. Through his masterful integration of Western classical sketches with Chinese ink paintings, Lin Guocheng offers a fresh perspective on the ever-evolving dynamics of our world.
In Lin Guocheng's “Landscape Series”, the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible blur, giving rise to a harmonious blend of landscape, cityscape, and dreamscape. This trinity of realms offers viewers a multi-dimensional experience, where the serenity of nature, the dynamism of manmade structures, and the ethereal world of dreams converge in a rhizomatic interplay.
Central to the artist’s “Civilisation Series” is the question how human civilization would grapple with our own technological advancement. Lin overlays elements of human civilization against pixelated backdrops, creating a stark contrast between the digital and the analogue.
Opening Reception: 19 September 2023, Tuesday, 5pm-7pm
