Lin Yilin (b. 1964 Guangzhou, China) studied at the Sculpture Department, Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts from 1983-1987.
In his works, the combination of conception and substance is emphasized, and the body itself turns into a kind of material and visual stimulant. Most of his works happened on the street and unusual space, which echoed the flourishing urban life in contemporary China.- Since he immigrated to the United States, he has been undergoing a radical change in my career. Confronting another social system and cultural background, his thinking direction is gradually changing and focusing on national politics. By comparison between Chinese and American society, he found the common and an amusing aspect among the great national politics. Their limitation is deeply roots in slogans such as claiming for justice and patriotic principles. A country's activities are usually under the flag of justice to have all kind of absurd actions and competitions, and lately this kind of thinking is reflecting in his works.
Selected solo exhibitions include Shanghai Gallery of Art, Vitamin Creative Space (Guangzhou), ISE Cultural Foundation (New York). Selected group exhibitions include Guangdong Museum of Art, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (Denmark), BaseB (Milan), He Xiangning Art Museum (Shenzhen, China), Tang Contemporary Art (Beijing), Visual Art Center of New Jersey.
