Lin Yung (b. 1992) was born in Taichung, Taiwan. With the background in Costume Design, Ling Yung found an objection to the stereotypical image of models in the fashion industry. In pursuit of warmth and personal appeal, Ling turns to the fine art’s realm and develops her unique artistic language.
Ling Yung’s artistic oeuvre can be characterized as neither “novel” nor “assertive,” but rather as a profoundly intrinsic and prolific representation of delicate cognition. The artist skillfully portrays plants and human subjects, challenging the conventional stereotypes that society has assigned to them. Inspired by people, animals, landscapes, and the natural world, Ling’s paintings undergo a continuous metamorphosis, oscillating gracefully between nuanced emotions and mythic abstractions. Her works are filled with intuitive lines, brushstrokes and passages of colors.
Within her creations, one would discover intuitive lines, brushstrokes, and color palettes that are both graceful and warmly expressive. Within her dynamic canvas, the female figures and animals that Ling Yung brings to life exude a true and compelling vitality, as it resonates from the very core of their being.
Ling Yung is currently living and working in Taipei, Taiwan. Important solo exhibitions include 《Ling Yung: a woman without makeup》,Each Modern,Online Exhibition (2021); 《Pumaconcon》,aura gallery taipei,Taipei,Taiwan (2017). Selected group exhibitions include 《PAPRIKA》,Each Modern,Taipei,Taiwan (2022); 《New Situation:EM Staff Select》,Each Modern,Taipei,Taiwan (2021); 《Works Under Pandemic》,Each Modern,Online Exhibition (2020).
