Fu Xi Lin
BORN: 1955
HOMETOWN: BEIJING, CHINA
Fu Xi Lin was born in 1955 in Beijing. He is currently the Deputy Chairperson of the Beijing Young Artist Association and a member of the Beijing Artist Association.
His works all share the commonality of soft, seemingly ambient lighting which could also be a result of utilizing wet-on-wet blending techniques with Chinese ink. The result is a softness, and smoothness of colour gradation. Techniques such as this allow us to appreciate the vastness of nature in many of his works, such as the large hill in “Camel Bell”, the glow of sunset in “Cranes in Spring”, or the tender glow of the morning sun in “Morning Dance”. Alongside beautiful abstract elements as also seen in “Cloud is the Home of the Crane”, he adds an undeniable precision to his works with skilled craftsmanship as he clearly depicts the natural forms of animals and fauna to a tee. Observe “Harmonious World”, where an intricate network of trees and branches can be seen contrasting with a cool, luminous over-glow of winter, or dusk.
Fu Xi Lin is a self-taught artist; his personal style has been well established and recognized by fellow artists. Most of his masterpieces have participated in exhibitions worldwide. Many of his paintings are collected by foreign embassies in China, Museums around the world like Canada, Switzerland, England, Japan, etc., and by the United Nation Wildlife Foundation.
