+ OVERVIEW
"The color white may appear to be common and popular. It is
both sacred and sorrowful that causes one to be at ease and
unease. In between the white exist an nlightening continuum
of colours and blankness that fluctuates as the intensity,
dilution, lightness, translucent and semi-translucent qualities of
the color white various." - Richard Lin
"Richard Lin’s 'White series' is derived from a foundation that
draws upon from both the ontological poetries and Eastern
meditative traditions, it ncapsulates the Taoist concepts of
'Emptiness' and 'Ethereal', creating a naturalistic Zen spatial
setting that pertains to the poetry of Xiao Yao You. Lin has
reincorporate post-modern interpretation in classical in literati
paintings."
