Wen Wen Lin interacting with the viewer of her installation work: My Brave New World, June 2011

Bio and Artist Statement:
Apart from been trained as an abstract painter, under one of the legendary Abstract Expressionist Painters, Larry Poons, Wen Wen Lin is also an avid blogger, poet, film maker and photographer.  Due to her embrace in "a whole being"-- instead of an expert in one small area, one can see disciplinary boundary has blurred in  her work. They all come together as different ways of  "expression" in searching for the ultimate meaning in life.


My Brave New World exhibition, exhibition at Hell's kitchen art festival was assisted by 2 beautiful lady jokers, Giovanna & Wen -Chi.

Deeply believes in art as a mean of social interaction-- art action-- Wen Wen takes art to the level to inspire and ignite social change, in order to create a greater world for us to live in.  She ventures into the realm of artistic activism (artivism), making art that immerse the viewers into the art pc, the viewers become part of the installation and the active creator of the art work.  The artist, the facilitator/joker, remain neutral in the entire act, like the joker card in the deck of cards.  Her most recent work, and an on-going project that travels, is: My Brave New World, which has its premiere exhibition in Hell's kitchen art-fest on June 26, 2011.
Wen Wen Lin also write about those artists who act to be subversive to  totalitarian regime, and fight against social injustice and oppression.   Her most recent writing is about artist dissident: Ai Wei Wei: "The Dance of Sunflower Seeds", which could be viewed in her blog: Artivists: Art in Action.
