Description of Our Community: Lin Zhi-xin is a local master artist who calls a tiny township in southern Taiwan home. Born in Hongwacui, Gui-ren, Tainan County, Master Lin has devoted all his life to art. Rural landscape dominates his creations given the pastoral environment in which he was nurtured. Born in a poor rustic village, Master Lin’s, however, has had a firm interest in art since childhood. He learned to paint in leisure hours, relentlessly dedicated himself to artistic creations. His contribution lies more in his paintings and artcrafts. He has committed all his life to endorse local art. He is now 70, but would stubbornly preaches, “Life begins at seventy.” His words and works both clearly illustrate his triumph over adversity. Master Lin is definitely worthy of acknowledge and praise.

Project Description: The story of Master Lin features our theme this time. His works comprehensively include printing, oil painting, Koji pottery, and glass, which have won popular acclaim home and abroad. For example, Welcoming MaZu is by far the most sizable printing on the planet. Creation kindles his life and occupies all his time. His labor and earnestness deserve our highest esteem. To show our respect for Master Lin’s artistic accomplishment and for more people to get a glimpse of his greatness, we build this website. We’ll see Mater Lin’s creative process along with each inspiring story behind each work.
