TIME SERIES, 1991

From Time to Time

represents Lin Hsin Hsin's 10th solo exhibition and the 4th to be held at the National Museum Art Gallery. The exhibition of some 123 works by the artist comprises an assemblage of major works of oil on canvas, oil on paper, papier collé and three dimensional sculptural pieces. A prolific and serious artist, Lin Hsin Hsin combines her interests in poetry, computer research and development, a field in which she maintains a full time job with her practise in art.

For this particular exhibition, the artist had chosen the theme of time, with its attendent philosophy and mystique as the focus for interpretation and expression of her works. In the artist's own words "...the concept of the exhibition is about my anticipation and participation of time,...... with overall concern of time for mankind."

Each of Lin Hsin Hsin's exhibitions are carefully crafted and designed around a selected topic such as her 1987 exhibition featuring her Abstraction In Music series and her 1989 Aqua series. Likewise this year's exhibition on the Time series, featuring her recent works, dating to this year. The works express and portray her keen observation of human nature and her involvement with aspects of sensation and perception. The poem Time penned by the artist specially for this exhibition sets the stage for display and discussion of the exhibition. The seven verses in the poem act as anchor for the artist's expression of her interpretation and understanding of the subject.
