Most of the works in the "Sycamore & Lin Xinyu" exhibition are hidden beneath the shadows of trees, blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces while seeking a new balance between materiality and concept. Lin’s painting style defies definition, revealing hidden corners of the inner world through small, intimate compositions. Within the context of the sycamore tree, the works aspire to explore the eternal and mysterious amidst the flux of change.
The sycamore has been a recurring theme in Lin’s art for over two decades, drawing upon sensory experiences and personal memories to construct a timeless fragment of recollection amidst the relentless flow of time. This intertwining of self, time, and space reflects the artist’s exploration of synchronicity.
The audience engages in an inseparable dialogue between their own perspective, the surrounding time and space, and the exhibited works, ultimately forming a conversation with time itself—achieving an enduring unity that cannot be fractured.
