Lin Zhipeng aka 223
Lin Zhipeng is among the leading artists of the so called generation of the eighties , an artist which work was first known through social media and online platforms and self-published zines. His diary like booklets and photographs represent a totally new group of the Chinese society that seek new boundaries within their lives . We see figures and nature mortes in flashy colours, flowers and interiors , nudes in soft colours, a new generation amidst new pleasures , far away from the middle class world . The images are in an atmosphere of love, playfulness , erotism and joy. Lin Zhipeng is named after a police character of the Wong Kar-Wai’s movie Chungking Express. His work is closely associated with the works of Guy Bourdin and Wolfgang Tillmans. This booklet is made for the third exhibition of Lin Zhipeng at Stieglitz19 Antwerp. The artist will be present at the opening.
