Lin Ching-Fang, a Taiwanese artist of their own, after observing the work of Lin, it is not hard to discover he has got a unique style of his own. The strong “Taiwanese style” flavor appears in his work is pure and authentic. It even delivers a sense of simplicity and relieves; a graceful portrayal of genuine and friendly “Taiwanese style” culture.

The exhibition: Made in Taifong: Heaven In Those Days, Lin has recreated the era of Made In Taiwan, in retrospect the wonderful childhood back in the days, a collection of The Aquarium series, Fishing Machine of Love, Damp Angel and The Mudguard, Lin is good at expressing local life style abstractly, a mixture of alternative material and a diverse set of colors deliver the good times once in the past, magnify the wild good times we all once want to chase after recklessly, once stepped into the exhibition hall, it allows us to detach ourselves from the expectation of the society and the material narcissism of the present, reflecting the wonderful era into the present decayed chaos, shall all be returned to the glorious heaven in one’s heart.

In the exhibition we can find a gradual change in each phase of adoration during the process of growing up, from the fishing machine in childhood to the teenager worshiping superstars, filled with innocence and also a pause of eternity, rooted deep in our genes growing up, Lin transformed the memory we shared growing up with ease, what is most impressive is that he always have a way to capture the color and figure of the past, creating a resonance with us, such as the Damp Angel series, he captured the beautiful star which is most representative during the era, treat them as angels, refining the figure of this land, one by one presenting the local figure being re-identified, at the same time chase after the good old times of Taiwan with sympathizing heart, so we shall be stronger to face the present moment. In Taiwan mudguard series, we find in Lin’s work with less processing of the scattered pieces, replaced by more of the matte skin in larger area, which implicate the deletion of the sludge.

Lin has been examining the detail of the essential joy between each one of us relentlessly, the joy from the era that is not immersed into the secular world; the culture, environment and profound local character and life made of that era, is the source of element of his work, he is still active to deliver his work in Taiwanese Style, expressing the local figure, a view without gap that swept to every corner.
