- Introduction
- Contemporary Sculpture” in contemporary has already been a limited definition in history. Rosalind E. Krauss, an American art critic, once clearly pinpointed in her essay that western logic of “memorial”, many of modern arts lean to destruct traditional meaning in order to provide definition of sculpture itself. Chen regards it as using negative destruction to engage in art revolution. Lin’s ideas lie in presenting a new transcendental status by sculptural works that are with abstract forms; namely, with perfect fusion of contradictions consist of exterior “form” and inner “ideal”. Hence interrelation between form and content of his sculptural works is by applying interrelation between abstract and substantial “spatial cycle” and “quality against form”. Space is twisted and penetrates through hard stones, bursting energy and tension existed in universe and nature. The objects that remained motionless, however, exhibit tremendous dynamic tension. They constitute delicate flexibility by geometric hardness of “inorganization”; the two are complementary for each other contradictory. His creations embrace unique emotion by accompany of rationality, therefore a new sense of beauty comes out, that is a particular aura of art.
