Personal Profile
  Lin Xinghui (Youzhu Jushi), from Fuzhou, Fujian Province, was born in 1962 and has been passionate about painting and calligraphy since childhood, deeply immersed in the joy of brush and ink. Due to family circumstances in his youth, he was unable to attend a professional art institution, but has devoted his life to the study and exploration of Chinese painting and calligraphy. In 1988, he graduated from a three-year correspondence course in Chinese painting at Beijing Art University, and subsequently studied for four years in the Chinese painting class at Xiamen School of Arts and Crafts. He apprenticed under renowned Fujian artists such as Chen Chuliang, Wu Tongsheng, Xu Jinbao, and Xu Pinxin, mastering traditional Chinese landscape, figure, and flower-and-bird painting. Since 2007, he has specialized in the study of traditional Chinese landscape painting. To draw inspiration from the profound richness of Chinese culture and better express China’s five-thousand-year civilization through landscape art, he has diligently studied traditional Chinese Tai Chi, the I Ching, and classical literary masterpieces including Tang poetry, Song lyrics, Yuan drama, and Ming-Qing novels, cultivating an inexhaustible cultural wellspring for his creative work. His artworks have been exhibited numerous times at provincial and municipal painting exhibitions and frequently featured in various charity art shows. He is currently a researcher and member of the China Academy of Painting and Calligraphy Art, a specially invited artist of the Fujian Zuohai Painting and Calligraphy Academy, Art Director of the Sotheby’s Cultural Arts Development Center, and Director of the Artist Creation Center of the Fujian Branch of the China Academy of Painting and Calligraphy Art. He is also a member of the Fujian Xiapu Funing Painting and Calligraphy Academy, Vice President of the Jiulongpao Painting and Calligraphy Academy of Wuyishan, China, and head of the Konghai Creative Base in Xiapu, Fujian.
