LIN Shu (b. 1981, Fujian, China), Currently lives and works in Beijing. Influenced by the traditional Chinese philosophy, Lin uses the shape of mountains as a subject to communicate with the old world and ancestors while trying to understand the early Chinese artists' perception and cognition of mountains. In an artist statement, Lin writes that his work is an attempt to "trace and imitate the most valuable and fine Chinese tradition". Lin graduated from the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. His work has been exhibited in France, Japan and China. Click here to see his book Toxic published by the Zen Foto Gallery in Japan. Here is a link to his website.
