About

Mingshi Lin creates illustration, independent film, oil painting, music, and experimental sound that deliver evocative spiritual imagery with a poetic temperament.

She pursues an aesthetic that re-portrays and deconstructs consciousness and matter, nature and humanity, and cyborgs and knowledge, in order to inspire ‘something in between’ and liberate the third overtone from the conventional narratives.

Her works seek to explore the ‘resonation’ of the world — the ‘Aeolian’ derived from perceptions. Her brushstrokes, montage, and voice mean to create a new immersive environment — an ambience — a metaphysical space in which the mind wanders freely and ‘body’ drifts randomly while dissolving itself out of the borders. “Imagination is a sensory movement; the canvas is the habitat where my mind should go and rest,” she has noted. “Arts only live well in the uncanny collision between dreamy vision and real tactility. I just let my hand move, selling peerless imagination, not products.”

About

Mingshi Lin creates illustration, independent film, oil painting, and experimental sound that deliver beautifully abstract imageries and emotional, poetic temperament.

She pursues an aesthetic that re-portray and deconstruct consciousness and matter, nature and human being, and cyborg and knowledge, in order to inspire ‘something in between,’ to release the third overtone from the conventional narratives.

Her works aim to explore the ‘resonation’ of the world — the ‘Aeolian’ from perceptions. Her brushstrokes, montage, and voice mean to create a new environment — an ambience — a metaphysical space where mind goes freely and ‘body’ drifts randomly while dissolving itself out of the borders. “Creation is a sensory movement, the canvas is the habitat where my mind should go and rest,” she has noted. “Arts only live well in the uncanny collision between dreamy vision and real tactility; I just let my hand moves, selling peerless imagination, not products.”
