Artwork Appreciation
LIN Wei-Syuan is a hearing-impaired artist, and this series of paintings originates from experiences she had during a low period of her life. She transforms her own life experiences into musical painting terms as a way to communicate and re-create them.
In Tsunamis & Tornados, these two normally destructive natural forces are transmuted into graceful dances with her paintbrush. In the pictures, arbitrarily placed dots, lines and circles, complemented by intensely contrasting lumps of color, are like pulsating notes on the flat canvas. Lin’s painting is like a lithe concerto, giving the viewer unlimited room for imagination.
