Lin Zhushi 林竹石

Lin Zhushi's works show a modernist trend in which the characters themselves while meaningful as words also have a more painterly presence in the whole composition. Typically the characters are closer to earlier forms (seal script or even oracle bone script) rather than their modern forms and have a pronounced abstract quality.
