Lin & Lin Gallery is pleased to participate in the first ART021 HONG KONG in 2024, presenting the modern artworks by atrtists Wu Da-Yu and Chen Tao-Ming, as well as the latest artworks by artists Zhao Zhao and Shen Liang. The artists are from the perspective of continuing the spirit of oriental art and aesthetics, dialogue with the history from different points of view in a contemporary context, showing the care for the traditional culture.

Wu Da-Yu (1903-1988) was born in Jiangsu Yixing in 1903, Wu was the first generation of Chinese abstract painting representative. He went to France in 1922 to study art at Paris High Art Institution and Bourdelle’s studio. Then Wu founded Hangzhou's National Academy of Art along with Lin Fengmian, inspired an entire generation of Chinese artists. His students include Wu Guanzhong, Zao Wou-Ki, Chu Teh-Chun and others.

陳道明（1931-2017）生於山東濟南，為「東方畫會」成員，被譽為「八大響馬」之一。藝術家熱衷於媒材、造形、和色彩的探索，其畫作運用壓克力、水彩等水性顏料的流動性，渲染出具有音響律動、有如大氣雲圖般的畫面，透過快意大筆或細緻推移，使具象物質和抽象氣韻在畫布上交鋒，營造出視覺上自由瀏覽的時間性空間，呼應著藝術家內在氣韻生動的生命意象及對「時間」瞬間的捕捉。

Chen Tao-Ming (1931-2017) was born in Shangdong. He co-founded Ton Fon Art Group and was dubbed "The Eight Highwaymen of the East." Chen has been eager to explore the variations of materials, formations, and colors. He made use of the fluidity of water-based paints such as acrylics and watercolors to generate atlas-like tableaus vibrating with musical rhythms. The concrete matters and abstract momentum come to clash on the canvas to allow the mind to freely wander in time, reflecting his inner vibrancy of life and the capture of time.

趙趙（1982-）生於中國新疆，現生活工作於北京和洛杉磯。藝術家融合傳統與當代的創作，揭示其置身於東西方之間的哲學思辨，以及對自身文化血緣的尋源軌跡。其新系列創作《草木》，跳脫以往傳統對花卉景物的描繪，畫面中萬紫千紅的花朵布滿了如同結粉般的小點，以草木萬物生長探討生命的延續及循環，藝術家更以英文名稱「Seeds」意指菩提子中對於生命循環的禪宗思想。

Zhao Zhao (1982- ) was born in Xinjiang, China and currently lives and works in Beijing and Los Angeles. Zhoa’s paintings, which combine traditional and contemporary elements, explore his philosophical thinking between East and West, and reveal his connection to his own culture. His new series “Seeds” goes beyond the traditional depiction of floral scenes. Colorful flowers with dots explore the continuity and cycle of life. And the title “Seeds” refers to the Zen thoughts of the life circle.

申亮 Shen Liang

申亮（1976-）生於中國遼寧，現生活工作於北京。思考著「傳統」與「日常」的議題，申亮運用日常的創作為傳統東方文人繪畫賦予多樣的當代性面貌。藝術家勾勒個人細微觀察生活的藝術創作，透過顏料塗繪、堆疊與造型，融合西方材質與技法，以東方的「塗鴉」重新建構一個充滿趣味的想像世界。這看似簡單的描繪與勾勒，通過堆疊尋常事物，在作品中構成了某種超脫於具體之外的實象，周行不殆的以生活實踐著血脈中的美學文化。
