With the first attempt of the ongoing project “Reflecting the Sharing Moment(abbr. RTSM)” organized by CAFA ART INFO, the online exhibition More Than The Immune Problem invites both domestic and international artists to record and present their reflections on the world and themselves in the year 2020. Diversified thinking and expressions from these artists are expected to be shared and discussed in a broader sense.
In this section, we would like to introduce artists LIN Yan and Tom BUTTER, as well as their artistic reflections to the year 2020.
LIN Yan
" I save myself with her and I use it to convey love, sincerity, freedom and peace. "
Lin Yan (b. 1961, Beijing) graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing in 1984, and pursued her studies further at L’École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris. Ten months later, she attended the graduate school of Bloomsburg University in Pennsylvania in US. In 1993, Lin Yan moved to New York with her husband and son. Based in Brooklyn, Lin Yan has been working in an unconventional manner with Chinese traditional handmade Xuan paper in her contemporary paintings, installations and video work. Her work has been included in multiple exhibitions worldwide. The most recent exhibitions are “Lin Yan: Original Point” at the Helwaser Gallery, NYC (Nov. 2019) . “Lin Yan” at Leo gallery’s online viewing rooms in Art Basel Hong Kong 2020 (March 2020), “Clouds Gathering and Unfolding—An Exhibition of Modern Chinese Art on Paper” at Ichihara Lakeside Museum in Japan (April 2020). Lin Yan went to Beijing to visit her family in mid March during the pandemic and is still there.

In the early spring of 2020, I experienced transient tranquility before the arrival of the pandemic threat in New York. During that period, I drew more than 30 small paintings like a diary. I lost that feeling after I rushed back to Beijing. In addition to fighting the pandemic and saving lives, the world has also undergone political, economic, social and natural crises. On-site exhibitions have been changed to online ones which can be viewed on the screen of mobile phones. Obviously a video might be more suitable for exhibiting than paintings, thus I started to experiment with video. Among the boundless territory of uncertainty, all I can hold is a small boat of art, I save myself with her and I use it to convey love, sincerity, freedom and peace.

My pieces are made by drawing with colored pencil on painted panels that have been sanded so that the original image is not present any longer. These drawings are representations of imagined entities, things in a world. These entities live while not being completely available to us to interpret or know. They do have a feeling, a sense of private being, and inhabit a pictorial space. The various colors employed are nameable and contribute to their identity. However these colors are not intended to quite determine or describe the entities by working relationally. This color is more independent: the color functions more like the way wearing clothes works for us. The titles are associative and give the viewer clues as to how to enter and begin to take in the works. All the works are relatively small, book sized.
