Lin Jing (b. 1974, Guangzhou, China) lives and works in Beijing and Brussels. She studied at the Mural Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing and the Sculpture Department of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. Alongside her painting practice, Lin Jing has maintained a long-term engagement with design.
Lin Jing's artistic practice is rooted in an interdisciplinary background spanning sculpture, painting, and design. Her long-term exploration of materials has fostered a keen sensitivity to wood, ceramics, textiles, plexiglass, and other mixed media, while her painting practice further extends her ongoing investigation into the relationships between color, form, texture, and space. Employing highly bodily, gestural curved brushstrokes to construct space and structure, she continuously engages with the evolving and generative nature of color relations, maintaining a sustained interest in the possibilities of painterly language itself. The intersection of different experiences and media results in a distinctive visual language that is both intense and harmonious, giving her works a palpable sense of weight and presence.
Lin Jing has showcased her work in numerous collections, including: Victoria & Albert Museum (London, UK); White Rabbit Museum (Sydney, Australia); Wright Auction (Chicago, US); China National Center for the Performing Arts (Beijing, China); Chinese Contemporary Art Center (Manchester, UK).
