City Gallery in Charleston, SC, Presents Works by Shu-Win Lin
The City Gallery at the Dock Street Theatre in Charleston, SC, will present an exhibit of oil on canvas paintings by Charleston artist Shu-Win Lin, entitled, Scherzo, which will be on view from June 12 - July, 2003.
Shu-Wu Lin received his MFA in Painting at Savannah College of Art and Design. His recent awards include being a winner in New American Paintings 2002 MFA Competition, a finalist in ArtLink Sotheby's International Young Art 2003 Competition, and Best of Show in many exhibitions. His paintings have been recently exhibited at the International Young Art 2003 Exhibitions and Auctions in Amsterdam, Netherlands; Tel Aviv, Israel; Moscow, Russia, as well as international art exhibitions in California and Florida, and national art exhibitions in Virginia, Oregon, Georgia, and Florida.
Lin comments on his work, "My current paintings are about the personal relationships between males and females. In particular, it is the closeness that concerns me the most. The positions that hands are in or the soft curve of a body inspires these works. These works are created from a combination of life and photographic sources, my feelings and emotional state. The movements in my paintings are an important element that represent not only thoughts but also my emerging subconscious sentiments. The images of my photography give me the guide to evoke my memory. My paintings are my diary, a visual record of the body, the mind, and the human spirit. It reflects and communicates my everyday feelings."
