+ 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."

- Academician of Taiwan Academy of Fine Arts, Pedro Tseng
